Cory Bosworth serves as Radcliffe's heavyweight assistant
varsity coach, novice coach and recruiting coordinator, a
position she has held since the fall of 2002.
Bosworth guided the Black and White second novice eight to
an EAWRC Sprints gold in 2008. The second novices won silver in
2006 and bronze in 2007. Her novice eights have reached four
Sprints grand finals, three times placing fourth.
Radcliffe reached the NCAA Championships in five of Bosworth's
previous six seasons, and in her first season, she helped
coach the 2003 squad to the national title.
Bosworth earned an undergraduate degree in English at the
University of California, Berkeley, where she was a four-year
member of the rowing team after originally entering the program as
a walk-on. She served as captain as a senior in 1999 when the
Golden Bears took a bronze at the NCAA Championships. Bosworth was
a Chancellor's Scholar at California and upon graduation was given
the Anna Espenschade Award as the best female student-athlete.
Bosworth first came to Radcliffe as a coaching intern and spent
two fall seasons working with the novices, both heavy and light. In
the spring, she coached the 2000 varsity four to a
seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championships and the
2001 four to an undefeated dual season and 10th?place NCAA
showing.
In the fall of 2001, Bosworth returned to California, where she
earned a master's in education in the Athletes and Academic
Achievement Program. She worked as a volunteer coach with
California's novice program over that year.
Bosworth returned to Radcliffe to take the reins of the novice
program and recruiting efforts. Her crews consistently finish
within the top five percent of the Head of the Charles Youth Eight
in the fall and in the grand finals at the Eastern Sprints Regatta
in the spring. Her recruited freshmen impact varsity boats as early
as their first year and consistently over four years, while those
who learn to row as walk-ons also continue on to become competitive
Division I rowers. In 2006, Bosworth was recognized by the
Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association as the New England Regional
Assistant Coach of the Year.
