In conjunction with the announcement of men’s rowing being added as a varsity sport, Katie Lane was tabbed as the program’s first head coach.

The coach of Wentworth’s club team since 2011, Lane has helped the team in its recent success which included a second-place finish at the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta in 2013.

A 2011 graduate of the University of Vermont where she was the coxswain on the Catamounts' team, she helped the team to a pair of New England regional championships during her junior and senior seasons. Prior to graduating from Vermont with a Bachelor's degree in English, Lane was accepted into the inaugural class of the Institute for Rowing Leadership in Boston. The youngest student in the class, she completed the program, which is the equivalent of a Master's degree in coaching rowing, in 2012. Lane is also actively involved in Community Rowing, where she serves as an assistant coach for the junior girls' program.
