Mike Farrey was named head coach in February 2005 after serving as an assistant coach under Geoff Dillard since 2003 and an assistant Varsity rowing coach since the 2004-05 season. In his first season as the leader of the Flyer women's rowing program, Farrey led Dayton to a second place finish at the Atlantic 10 Championships - its best ever finish in program history. His lightweight eight shell also ranked sixth in the final USRowing Poll. Farrey graduated from UD in 2002 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. He began his coaching career working with camps for high school students under UD Rowing Team founder Mike Miles in what would become the Dayton Boat Club. Farrey was then named Head Novice Coach with the University of Dayton's Men's Rowing Team. He then switched to the women's side as Head Novice Coach, leading the crew to all top-3 finishes in the 2003-04 Atlantic 10 Conference race and posting the most team points in that event for any school's novice team. Under his watch the Novice 8 also recorded a 3rd place finish at the ECAC National Invitational Regatta and saw 21 women place on the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll. Originally from Centerville, Farrey now resides in Kettering. In addition to his duties with UD, he also works a consultant for Booz Allen Hamilton and is involved with the Dayton Boat Club, whose goal is to develop competitive rowing in the Dayton area at the high school and masters level. |
