New rowing assistant coach Natasia Giles (texassports.com)
Iowa rowing head coach Andrew Carter has announced the addition of Natasia Giles as an assistant coach.
Giles will head to Iowa after a four-year coaching stint at Texas, where she spent her first two years as a volunteer assistant coach and then was promoted to a graduate assistant the last two years.
In 2017, Giles led a 1V4 boat to fourth-place finish at the 2017 NCAA Championships and helped transition athletes up to varsity competition.
“I’m very pleased to have Natasia join our team this year,” Carter said in a release. “She’s been able to work with Coach [Dave] O’Neill and his staff at Texas over the past three years, and that’s terrific experience to bring with her to Iowa.”
