PORTLAND, Ore. --- The University of Portland women's rowing program has added Plamen Petrov, who will serve as an assistant coach with the Pilots during the 2016 spring semester. A head coach and the president of Oregon Rowing Unlimited since 2012, Petrov was a Bulgarian national team member for seven years.
"I believe Plamen's systematic approach and experience will make an immediate impact on how we better prepare our athletes for training for a long and successful rowing career that may extend past their collegiate experience to new horizons on the U23 and senior national teams," Portland head coach Pasha Spencer said.
