Coaching

President
Carter Brudette
Carter is a sophomore from Lafayette, LA, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He enjoys running, biking, and rowing (how could you not???). You can probably find him napping in the oddest of places when he's not trying to take over the world.

Vice President
Cardboarder Burdette
Cardboarder Burdette is a sophomore from evil Lafayette, LA, majoring in everything BUT Mechanical Engineering. He HATES running, biking, and especially rowing. You'll never be able to find him for he does not sleep. He also plots for world dominance, but, like, more evil. He stole candy from several small children then proceeded to brag about it for several months.

Treasurer
Charles Ruliffson
Charles "Charlie" Ruliffson is a physics major from Bossier City, LA. His general interest consist of being lamer than other members of the team and also being a geeky nerd boy. His heart is full of hatred and spite and he probably lost the game.

Secretary
Marie Herke
Marie is a sophomore from Baton Rouge, LA and is double majoring in Art and Applied Coastal and Environmental Science. She’s a D1 yapper, lives for old barbie movies, and causes most of McKenley’s stress as a coxswain. You can always find her decked out in rowing merch from head to toe. Her favorite is a jacket that says, “If rowing were easy it would be called baseball!"

Membership and Publicity/Women's Captain
Lauren Herke
Lauren is a sophomore from Baton Rouge, LA, double majoring in English BA and Geography BS. Her hobbies mainly consist of photography, poetry, and Pinterest (the Holy Trinity of P's). She enjoys hanging out with friends whether they're working out, playing the Wii, or simply chatting for hours on end. When Lauren isn't on the boat, you'll likely find her fueling her caffeine addiction at the nearest coffee shop.

Men's Captain
Maximillian Petitfils
Maximillian Petitfils is an LSU student from Lafeyette, LA. He's kinda just a chill dude (gossip girl), idk. He's lowkey mysterious and buff. He also has a little follower whose name starts with an E, so look out for him.

Fundraising and Sponsorship
Sydnie Williams
Sydnie is a sophomore from Baton Rouge, LA. She is majoring in POLI Sci, with a concentration in International Law and Policy. In her free time, she likes to run, listen to music and play bass. She rows port, but if you asked her to pick out an oar she’d have no clue.

Equipment Manager
Ian Morton
Ian is a cool dude with a rad tude. He is a sophomore in biochemistry and is super awesome. He is from a small town with humble beginnings. That town is no other than the titular Bossier City, LA. His hobbies are being cool, being cooler than cool, and being ice cold. =)

Coordination Officer
Josephine Messina
Josephine "The Fiend" Messina is an LSU student from New Orleans, LA. The Fiend is one of two coxswains and will gladly let you know it. If you make her mad, she'll make you sad (JK). If you happen to leave a lighter at her place don't expect to see it any time soon.
