Announcing “The Oarsman” winners

As announced back in May, “The Oarsman” recognizes a generational talent: someone whose collegiate record is not only impressive but, in many cases, unprecedented within their program. Though only one crew may win gold, this award recognizes the individual who has made their team greater through tireless dedication, transformative impact, and uncompromising excellence. The Oarsman award stands as a tribute to those rare athletes who achieve greatness not only through personal excellence but through a lasting commitment to their team, their sport, and the values that define true champions.

Jack Carr, Trinity

“Jack Carr was a transformational oarsman over his four years as a member of the Trinity College rowing team. He is a four time varsity letter winner, two year team captain, and an undefeated national champion who set athletic standards for his team in and out of season. His preparation was second to none, and his leadership ensured others came with him. He is an outstanding scholar who lived up to the highest academic standards possible, routinely holding one of the highest GPAs in the program. Jack helped bring Trinity College to the pinnacle of men's DIII collegiate rowing in 2025 and has helped establish a foundation of work, enthusiasm, and commitment that will help propel the program forward in the years to come.” - Nate Clark, Asst. Coach

“Logan Ullrich is one of the finest athletes to ever row for the University of Washington. A 2024 Olympic silver-medalist, he is quick to put the team above himself, and was both the engine and voice of the 2025 UW eight.” - Nate Goodman, Asst. Coach
