Former Head Coaches

Sean Thomas

2019 – 2021

Sean Thomas started coaching with Stone Bridge Rowing Club in 2016 as an assistant coach. As the parent of one of the athletes, he stepped up and helped out with coaching whenever necessary. He learned the sport and has a love for coaching. When the need for a Head Coach arose in the summer of 2018, he jumped at the opportunity to begin serving as Head Coach.

Coach Thomas has a genuine love for the sport of Rowing and for mentoring young people. It is important to him that he not only helps shape the rowers into the best athletes that they can be, but that he also helps them become the best students and people that they can be.

Kayla McCormack started coaching with Stone Bridge Rowing Club December in 2013 and served as Head Coach from 2016-2018. As a Loudoun County Teacher she was able to connect with the team through the schools. “I love working with the high school age group because it’s a time of unlocking potential and the building of self. Being a coach and teaching the fundamentals of being a thriving academic athlete is one of the most enjoyable things I do.”

Following the 2015 season, Coach Suter and his wife Chris relocated to Houston, Texas for work.
