HEAD ROWING
COACH
 Proud
Rollins graduate and veteran head coach Shawn Pistor returns for his
15th year with the Tars rowing teams. A four-year varsity rower as
an undergrad, he is in his 9th year at the helm of the storied program.
The Tars have enjoyed unprecedented success during Pistor's tenure.
Last season, he led the men's varsity four to one of their best season's
in school history. The boat took third place at the Dad Vail Championships
in Philadelphia and first place at the SIRA Championships, their second
championship under Pistor (1999). Capping off one of the Tars best
performances at the SIRA meet, the men's novice four also took the
gold. The previous season, both the men's and women's varsity eights
competed at the San Diego Crew Classic and in 2002-03 the men's varsity
eight took the FIRA state crown. The Rollins women have made two appearances
in the NCAA Championships under Pistor, taking third in 2002 and sixth
in 2003. They also took first at the Sunshine State Conference Championships
in 1998 and 2002. In addition, the 2002 women's varsity four took
first at the SIRA Championships and the women's JV four did the same
in 1999. Pistor earned his B.A. in Sociology from Rollins in 1995
and completed his MBA from the Crummer Graduate School of Business
in 1999. An avid outdoorsman, he spends his off-season working summer
camps in forests of New Hampshire .
