Lexie Beemer is in her second season as a Volunteer Assistant Coach with the U-M rowing program in 2018-19, joining the staff after a decorated career as a Wolverine herself (2014-17). Beemer works closely with the novice program.
At the 2018 Big Ten Championships, Beemer helped guide the 1N8 to a bronze medal while the 2N8 boat won silver.
As a student-athlete at Michigan, Beemer was a part of three Big Ten Title-winning boats. She rowed in the 2V8 boat which won the 2015 conference title, Michigan's first individual boat champion since 2012, and was also in the first place 2017 2V8 boat. As a novice, she also captured a conference title in the 1N, and she nearly added a fourth Big Ten win as a junior in 2016, when her 1V8 boat finished second in a photo finish.
Michigan finished no worse than third in the Big Ten in Beemer's three seasons with the program (second, third, second). After a pair of 10th-place NCAA finishes in her first two seasons, she and her teammates broke through for a 2017 third-place national placing, the team's best since 2012. That podium finish came on the strength of a third-place finish from Beemer's 2V8 boat.
Beemer also excelled in the classroom, where she was a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar. She earned her B.S. in Health and Fitness and is now pursuing a Master's of Science in Movement Science from U-M's School of Kinesiology.Â
