8.1.12 | Women's Rowing

PHILADELPHIA—On Wednesday, it was announced that Colleen Greway, a 2010 graduate of Saint Joseph's University and former rower for the Hawks, was named Temple University's Women's Rowing graduate assistant.  

Greway was among two dozen coaches considered for the position.  For the past two years, Greway has served as the assistant Varsity/JV coach for Conestoga High School crew club, where she led crews to medal at the Philadelphia City Championships, SRAA Championships, the Stotesbury Cup Regatta, and the Youth National Championship Regatta. This past summer, Greway had the opportunity to take two of the varsity crews to the renowned Women's Henley Regatta in England.

Greway studied Elementary and Special Education at St. Joe's.  During her career on the Women's Rowing team at St. Joseph's, Greway was a two-year captain and four-year varsity 8+ rower.  In her senior year, she was the recipient of the Class of 1950 award, which recognizes the top female athlete of the year. She also received honors as the top scholar athlete in class. Additionally, she was selected to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference and All-Academic teams, and the Philadelphia Area All-Academic team.  Following graduation, Greway led the Penn AC women's summer elite rowing program at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta.

She is ecstatic about joining a program on the rise.

“Even when I was in school competing for St. Joe's, I always saw Temple as a program with incredible potential. They certainly have the athletes, and the new coaching staff has done a great job so far of improving both fitness and technique. As a coach, I hope I will be able to add to the new success Temple Women's Rowing has found.”

Currently, Coach Greway is pursuing a Master's degree in Speech Language Pathology at Temple.

The Owls will hit the water in September when the fall semester begins. 

Some of her rowing highlights include:

3-time Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta medalist
3-time Atlantic 10 Championship medalist
Recognized as the top student-athlete as a senior at Saint Joseph's University.
