S3E13 - Marqus Brown: Testing the Waters at UW
From Fairmount Park rowing camp as a teenager, to team captain at La Salle University, to coach at BLJ Community Rowing – you could definitely call Marqus Brown a Philly guy through and through. But the chance to coach for the prestigious University of Washington Huskies recently took Marqus out to Seattle, where he’s digging into the details to help his motivated crews move boats even faster.
In 2021, Marqus was the stroke of an all Black Men’s 4x, the first ever to row at a USRowing Masters National Championship. We’ve talked with the other members of that lineup, and hope you’ll listen to those episodes, too: Napoleon Griffin, Maurice Scott, and Brook Yimer.
