Eagles Welcome 15 Commits to The Class of 2028
April 09, 2024 | Rowing
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College head rowing coach Grace Hollowell has announced the addition of 15 student-athletes to the Class of 2028.
"I am very excited for the class of '28 to join us on the Heights! There is a ton of talent in this group, they have the right skill, mentality, and character to contribute to what we are building here at BC (and they have the medals and race results to back it up!). I'm confident this class will help push the standard and the expectations for the program, while continuing to uphold our culture. I look forward to them joining us in August!"
