Robert Weber

Rob Weber is in his fifth season as the head men's and women's rowing coach at Hamilton College. His female athletes have collected four all-America honors, including Ann-Sophie Koglin '20 in 2018, and he coached two all-NESCAC rowers last year. The women's varsity 8 finished last spring at No. 8 in the Division III coaches poll after climbing as high as fourth in April. The women finished the spring ranked in the top 10 for the fourth consecutive year. In the final NCAA regional poll the varsity 8 was ranked second and the second varsity 8, as well as the team, were ranked first in New York. The men's varsity 8 captured the silver medal at the 2018 New York State Collegiate Championships, which is believed to be the program's best showing in that race at the state regatta. Fifteen student-athletes made the 2018 NESCAC Spring All-Academic Team.

Weber attended the U.S. women's under 23 selection camp and coached the four at the 2018 Henley Royal Regatta. He traveled with the U.S. team for the 2018 World Rowing Under 23 Championships in late July and coached the women's four and the women's four with coxswain.

The women's varsity 8 was No. 10 in the final 2017 USRowing/Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) Division III Top 15 poll. Two rowers made the 2017 NESCAC Rowing All-Conference Team and 11 athletes earned a spot on the NESCAC Spring All-Academic Team.

Weber was the coach for the U.S. women's four at the 2017 World Rowing Under 23 Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. He served as a volunteer assistant coach at the USRowing Princeton Training Center for the fifth consecutive summer. 

Weber's women's varsity 8 was ranked 10th in the final poll in the spring of 2016. One men's rower and one women's coxswain earned spots on the all-NESCAC team. Twelve of Weber's athletes made the 2016 NESCAC Spring All-Academic Team and five women were deemed national scholar-athletes by the CRCA.

In 2016 Weber coached the women's 8+ that won the Remenham Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta and the U.S. women's 4- that won a silver medal at the World Rowing Championships in Rotterdam. Weber coached the U.S. women's 4- to a gold medal at the 2015 World Championships in Aiguebelette, France. He coached the U.S. Women's Senior National Team straight four to a gold medal at the 2013 World Championships in Chungju, South Korea, and a silver medal at the 2014 World Championships in Amsterdam.

Weber guided the women's team to their most successful season ever in 2014-15. The Continentals received their first bid to the NCAA championships, took the bronze medal in the varsity 8 grand final and finished fourth in the team standings. The women were ranked third in the season's final Top 15 coaches poll -- the program's highest ranking ever. The Continentals boasted a pair of first team all-Americans and captured the gold medal in the women's varsity 8 grand final at the New York State Championships for their first state title. Weber coached three rowers to all-NESCAC team honors.

Weber was the head rowing coach at Franklin & Marshall College from 2010 to 2014 and was an assistant coach at the school from 2008 to 2010. He was selected the Mid-Atlantic Rowing Conference Men's Coach of the Year in 2012. Prior to his time at Franklin & Marshall, Weber was the men's novice coach at Savannah College of Art & Design in 2006-07 and the women's varsity and novice coach for the College of William & Mary Rowing Club in 2005-06.

Weber is a member of the CRCA and he was a Division III pollster in 2014. He has been on the NCAA Division III Rowing National Committee and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Advisory Committee since 2011.

Weber graduated magna cum laude from Wabash College and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest honor society. He holds master's degrees from the University of Kentucky and William & Mary.
