My favorite part of being on the team was coming in with no experience and getting to learn everything firsthand. I came to love the sport and learned to push my teammates to do their best. Outside of Crew, I enjoy lifting and playing video games.

head coach
Paul Bagley || Construction Science 2026
Howdy! My name is Paul Bagley. I am from Dallas, Texas and I rowed in High school for White Rock Rowing. I have the distinct honor of getting to be the head coach of TAMU Crew. I am a Construction Science Major class of 2026. Outside of rowing I love to spend time biking, being in nature, and spending time with friends.
Assistant coach
Sarah McQuaid || M.S. Materials Science and Engineering 2025
Howdy! I’m Coach McQuaid, currently in my second year of my M.S. degree in the Materials Science and Engineering department. I grew up in southern California, but have been in Texas for 10 years now. I joined TAMU Crew as a freshman with no prior rowing experience in 2018 and competed with the team until 2022. My time as a rower built a strong community around me and gave me the opportunity to learn to be a better leader and a stronger person. I returned as a coach because I missed our team’s community. This season, I want to leverage that community to strengthen our competitive side. Outside of my research and Crew, you can find me coaching at Row House or at home with a book and my cat!
