Tom TerhaarWhen the USA Olympic women’s eight rowing team won the gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the team’s 11th straight Olympic or world title, the team truly had “Jersey Roots and Global Reach” with their coach Tom Terhaar, LC ’92, and his wife Jennifer Dore-Terhaar, RC ’93, having Rutgers University ties.

Rowing has a long history at Rutgers, starting in 1864, when it was the college’s first organization.
