She is the voice in their ear, both calm and ferocious.
Coupeville grad Lucy Sandahl, now a senior at Seattle Pacific University, excels as a coxswain for the Falcon rowing team.
As she winds her way through her final collegiate season, the former Wolf, who was a standout volleyball and track athlete at CHS, continues to soar.
This weekend, Sandahl and her teammates are in California, where they competed at the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships.
The varsity 8+ boat, led by Coupeville’s progeny, crushed the competition Saturday, winning its race by more than six seconds.
The Falcons then came back around Sunday to claim a third place showing in the grand final.
SPU gets back at it next Saturday, May 4, when it participates in the Windermere Cup Regatta hosted by the University of Washington.
It’ll be a reunion, as Lucy’s older sister, Sophie, a former Falcon rower herself, will also be competing, as a member of the Masters team for the Lake Washington rowing club.
