After serving as an assistant coach in 1998-99, Gerry Quinlan is in his fourth-year as head women's varsity coach at Saint Joseph's University. A 1991 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Quinlan brings more than a decade of collegiate head coaching experience to Hawk Hill. Since his arrival at SJU, Quinlan has been one of the driving forces behind the growth of both the men's and women's rowing programs. Nearly doubling in participation during his tenure, Quinlan has been active in the development of the new boathouse, maintaining alumni support and coordinating several local regattas. Quinlan's resume includes a six-year stint as the head coach of Northwestern University's men's and women's programs and a three-year stint as the head women's coach at Notre Dame. His teams have won medals at the Dad Vail Regatta, Champion International Collegiate Regatta, and the Head of the Charles and have competed in the Henley Royal Regatta and the Mexico City International Championships. During his prep career, Quinlan rowed locally at Monsignor Bonner High School. He then went on to a successful career at the college level for the Irish.
