Rachel Signor, a 2018 and 2020 graduate of UConn, and former UConn rowing standout, will rejoin the program as an assistant coach, as announced by head coach Jen Sanford on Thursday.
"I couldn't be happier that Rachel Signor will be returning to our program as an assistant coach," Sanford said. "As a student-athlete, Rachel was a team leader and demonstrated all the characteristics of a great teammate. As our graduate assistant coach, Rachel developed positive relationships with the athletes and on a daily basis showed her excellent teaching and coaching ability on and off the water. She added value to our coaching staff, and we are thrilled to have her back as a Husky."
Signor competed on the UConn rowing team from 2014-18, earning a first-place finish at the Freshman 8+ Head of the Schuylkill and third place at the American Athletic Conference Championship in 2V8. She also rowed with ARION U23 Development during the summers of 2018 and 2019 and coached "Learn-to-Row" for two years at the Saratoga Rowing Association.Â
After earning her master's degree in sport management in the spring of 2020, Signor worked at the Saratoga Springs Racetrack. She was also involved in the 2020 NCAA Emerging Leaders Seminar and worked with the UConn National C Club, Student-Athlete Development and for UConn athletics marketing during the 2017-18 season.
