BUFFALO, NY - Sasha Bailey was a team captain during the most successful era of University at Buffalo rowing and now the UB grad is back on Tonawanda Creek helping interim head coach Kerri Brace restore the rowing program to its glory days.
Prior to this season, Bailey was hired as novice assistant coach after spending four years working for RowNY – a non-profit organization in New York City. RowNY served under-resourced schools in New York City with a mission to empower youth through the sport of rowing as well as academic enrichment and support.
When Brace got wind Bailey was interested in returning to Western New York, she wasted little time offering her an opportunity to serve as the novice coach at her alma mater.
