Sam Clifford enters her third season with the Washington State women’s rowing program in 2021-22.
Clifford comes to the Palouse after nearly two years as a Row Boston Girls Coach for Community Rowing, Inc. (CRI). Also a 2017 graduate of Indiana, Clifford began rowing in the fall of her freshman year at Fairfield University in Connecticut. Following the 2013-14 season, she spent the summer rowing at US Rowing's Pre-Elite camp and transferred to Indiana to continue her rowing career.
At Indiana, Clifford rowed two seasons with the varsity squad. During the 2016-17 season, she served as a volunteer assistant coach after medical issues cut her collegiate rowing career short. She received her B.A. in United States history along with a minor in psychology from Indiana in May of 2017.
A native of Bridgewater, Mass., Clifford graduated from Milton Academy in 2013 where she was captain of the varsity basketball and volleyball teams.
