Adam Wehking began his Wisconsin coaching career in the fall of 2022 after an illustrious rowing career on the water for UW. Wehking did it all during his five years on the Badger rowing team, rowing with the first varsity eight for four years, including earning Intercollegiate Rowing Coaches Association (IRCA) All-America honors in both 2021 and 2022. As former UW head coach Chris Clark praised Wehking when he joined the coaching staff, "Adam is the epitome of a Badger oarsman; a terrific athlete, a leader on the team and throughout Athletics, and born and bred locally." One of three team captains for the 2022 season, he was also team captain in 2021. A multiple Academic All-Big Ten student, the Marshall, Wisconsin, native won UW's 2022 Big Ten Outstanding Sportsmanship Award for men in the athtetic department, while also earning Big Ten Distinguished Scholar accolades. Invited to USRowing's Under 23 Selection Camp in 2020, Wehking was a walk-on at Wisconsin, earning the inaugural IRCA Novice Walk-On Award in 2021. Wehking came to Wisconsin after spending high school as a three-sport athlete in football, basketball and baseball, captaining football and basketball three times and earning all-conference accolades in all three sports including as a quarterback, defensive end and outside linebacker in football. He was conference player of the year in basketball. "Guys like Adam are unfortunately incredibly rare. It's very unusual to find a young college kid who from the very sta

Wisconsin's already-strong rowing tradition was bolstered in 1996 with the hiring of Chris Clark as head coach of the men's rowing program. The 2002 Independent Rowing News College Coach of the Year, Clark quickly established himself as an architect of winning crews after taking over the reins from 28-year head coach Randy Jablonic. Clark brought the Wisconsin program to the peak of collegiate rowing during the 2008 season when the Wisconsin varsity eight took home the school's first national championship since 1990. The crew would later be named "Crew of the Year" by Row2k.com voters, as well as "Best of 2008" by Rowing News and the EARC Heavyweight Crew of the Year. Clark was also named EARC Heavyweight Coach of the Year that season. Wisconsin rowing, however, has been among the nation's elite during Clark's entire tenure. The coach led the Badgers to recapture the Intercollegiate Rowing Championship's Ten Eyck Trophy in 1997 after a nine-year absence. The trophy, which annually recognizes the school scoring the most total points in the IRA national competition, was retained by the Badgers in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002, indicating Wisconsin's dominance on the national scene. Over that stretch, four UW boats won national titles in 1999 and 2000, three boats won grand finals in 1998, two in 2001 and one in 2002. Two more boats won titles at the 2003 IRA. In addition to titles, Clark's crews have won numerous medals at the IRA during his coaching tenure, including a streak of 1
