WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross men's rowing head coach Jim Barr announced the addition of Steven Sparks as an assistant coach.

Sparks most recently served as a volunteer assistant coach at Tufts University, focusing on the development of rowers and coxswains, and as an assistant juniors rowing coach with the Cambridge Boat Club. With Cambridge, Sparks assisted with on-the-water coaching while also handling regatta coaching, travel and logistics, and boat safety and maintenance.

"I believe Coach sparks will bring some exciting energy to the team given his experience rowing at a high level," said Barr. "It is clear to me that Steve has a passion for coaching that will serve the team culture well. I am looking forward to having him on my staff."

A 2022 graduate of Bates College, Sparks competed for four years on the varsity men's rowing team. While at Bates, Sparks was named the team's Outstanding Freshman Rower Award in his first season, a three-year team captain, and a two-time IRCA First Team All-American.
