Kaitlin (Kate) Wright joined the University of Michigan rowing staff on September 7, 2018. In her position as a graduate assistant, she is tasked with assisting both the novice and varsity programs and she is also heavily involved in recruiting.
Wright helped coach the fours during her first year on-staff. Along with Coach Emily Sugiyama, she helped the 2V4 capture gold at the Big Ten Championships, while the 1V4 and 3V4 boats won silver medals. The 1V4 went on to place fourth at the NCAA Championships, helping U-M to third place as a team behind a program-record 119 points.
A native of Lakeville, Minnesota, Wright returns to Ann Arbor after one year away from the sport. While at U-M, she earned a degree in psychology with a minor in medical anthropology, and she was also a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar in her senior season. She will pursue a degree from the School of Social Work in the 2018-19 school year.

On the water, Wright was a two-time CRCA All-American (first and second team honors) and a three-time all-region honoree. She also secured a pair of first team All-Big Ten accolades while helping U-M to earn three runner-up showings at the Big Ten Championships. U-M finished top-10 in the NCAA in each of her four seasons of competition, including a third-place showing in her senior season, the best national finish for the program since 2012.
