men's crew Coaches

George Repicky was promoted to the role of Head Men's Crew coach at St. Lawrence in the summer of 2005.  Repicky, who has worked as a coach with the program since 2003, has helped establish the Saints as one of the premier crew programs in the East.

Repicky's Varsity 8+ boat had the fastest year in St. Lawrence history in 2009-10, as the boat qualified for the grand finals in the New York State Championships. In 2009, Repicky guided the Saints' men's novice eight to the Grand Final at the ECAC Championships, the first boat in Saints men's crew history to do so. Throughout the course of the spring season, the crew was undefeated, claiming both the Liberty League and New York State titles after an undefeated spring campaign. Their finishes in various regattas throughout the year is the introduction to a very storied future for men's crew.

Repicky, a 2000 graduate of Ithaca College and a member of the men’s rowing team, previously coached at Sienna College and Lehigh University as well as a number of clubs and high school teams. He and his wife Emma Brackett reside in Canton, NY.

Returning to her alma mater, Amanda Dudley '08 joined the St. Lawrence Crew staff in the fall of 2010 as an assistant coach.

Dudley, a Henderson Harbor, NY native, rowed all four of her collegiate years for the Saints and stroked the Varsity 8+ boat that was named 2008 Liberty League Crew of the Year and placed 5th at the NCAA Division III Rowing Championships. 

After graduating from St. Lawrence, Dudley worked as an assistant rowing coach at Lake Braddock Secondary School and then William & Mary Rowing Club, both in Virginia.  While assistant coaching, she also completed her student-teaching at Toano Middle School in Toano, VA and received her Master's in Education at The College of William & Mary in 2010. 

Zachary Slouka, a 2011 graduate of Trinity College, joined the St. Lawrence Crew staff in January of 2012. 

Slouka, a Brewster, NY native, was a four-year rower for the Banthams.  He helped the second Varsity 8+ win gold at the New England Rowing Championships in 2010, followed by silver in 2011.  He was voted Most Fit Rower in his senior year. 

After graduating from Trinity, Slouka relocated to Minot, North Dakota where he assisted in flood relief and natural gas work. 

Alison Del Rossi will serve as the men's Crew Faculty/Staff Mentor for the 2011-12 season.  

Del Rossi graduated summa cum laude from the University of Delaware, with a double major in Economics and English, and she received a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to coming to SLU in Fall 1999, Alison served a year as a Junior Staff Economist at the President's Council of Economic Advisers, and she was an assistant professor at the University of Wyoming. Her teaching and research interests currently include law and economics, public finance and government behavior, risky choices, and the economics of higher education.
