Charlotte Copp has been Pacific's head rowing coach for three years after serving as an assistant coach for three years.
Copp was voted the 2024 Northwest Conference Coach of the Year after leading the Boxers to a third-place finish at the NWC Championships.
Over the past six years, she has seen the community on the rowing team grow and strengthen and is most proud of the team culture as well as their technical ability. In her first year as Head Coach, she nearly tripled the roster size, put an emphasis on accessibility in rowing, and encouraged an “any seat, any time” mindset on the team.
During the summers she coaches Learn to Row for adults at Station L Rowing in Portland and continues to race competitively out of Portland Boat Club in the single.
Copp walked on to the rowing team at Lewis & Clark in the NWC and in her senior season she earned All-NWC honors and was team captain on the Pioneers who finished fourth at the NWC Championships. Her career was highlighted by placing #6 on the all-time 2K record board and winning a bronze medal in the Double at the WIRA Championships in Sacramento, CA. Other highlights include stroking the varsity 8 in 2018, going to the grand finals in the V8 at WIRA in 2017, and winning the petite finals in the V8 at WIRA by over 10 seconds in 2016.
She earned her bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies from Lewis & Clark.
