The team travel coordinator serves as the liaison and primacy POC between the team and the hotel throughout their stay. While dates and times are confirmed, the boats and crews have not yet been selected. Upon selection, an email will be sent to the specific roster of rowers selected to represent the Gonzaga crew team. Parents will also be advised of availability of hotel rooms and given the opportunity to book hotel rooms if they wish to travel to the race site. However, parents are welcome to make other arrangements or plan ahead and book rooms at their own convenience, if they wish to plan ahead to attend these races.
