Christine Glandorf
Christine Glandorf, Yale Crew '09, had tremendous success as a student and rower at Yale. Two years after graduating, she has returned as an assistant coach for both Yale and Bulldog Rowing Camp to help ensure that the next generation of Yale & BRC rowers has a similar positive experience.

Glandorf was a four-year letterwinner and sat in the bow seat of the varsity eight for three years, helping the Bulldogs to a pair of NCAA titles. In her sophomore year, Yale went undefeated, winning both the Ivy League and NCAA crowns. The Bulldogs repeated as NCAA champions in her junior year and won the Ivy League title again in her senior year. She also helped Yale win the 2009 Women’s Henley Elite Eight championship in a course record time and finish second to the British National Team in the Remenham Cup at the 2009 Royal Henley Regatta.

Glandorf excelled in the classroom at Yale as well. She was a three-time CRCA Scholar Athlete and earned Academic All-Ivy and Academic All-District I second team honors as a senior.

“I am tremendously enthusiastic about this sport and the benefits it can have for student athletes, physically, mentally and emotionally,” Glandorf said. “I am so excited to help our student athletes excel both on and off the water in their time at Yale. In a lot of ways I want to `pay forward’ the lessons I learned as a rower and student at Yale, helping a new generation achieve even greater success.”

For the last two years, Glandorf has been the rowing coach at Greenwich Academy where she guided the program to its first ever varsity and second varsity gold medals at the New England Championships. In her first season, the varsity eight reached the grand final at the NEIRA Championship for only the second time in school history. Last fall she guided the varsity four to a sixth-place finish at the Head of the Charles, and in the spring, the varsity and second varsity fours were both undefeated in the NEIRA and finished first in their divisions at the NEIRA Championship, winning the school’s first-ever championship medals.

“As an athlete Christine is a two-time national champion, and as a coach she led her team to the NEIRA championship for the first time in history. In short, she knows how to win,” Porter said.
