Photos taken from the Eastern Sprints on Sunday, May 13. BU finished seventh overall with two Petite Final victories.
John Lindberg returns for his third season on head coach Tom Bohrer's staff after helping guide the freshman eight boat to back-to-back Grand Final appearances at the Eastern Sprints and two top-seven results at the IRA Regatta. The team's impressive results since his arrival as the freshman coach and recruiting director prompted Bohrer to promote Lindberg to associate head coach before the start of the 2012 dual season.
This past year, the Terriers placed fifth in the Grand Final for the program's best performance ever at the IRAs after finishing sixth in 1986 and 2005. The boat missed out on a medal by 2.2 seconds and and fourth by 0.293 seconds. Weeks earlier, BU reached its second consecutive Grand Final at the Sprints and placed sixth overall.
Recording an undefeated dual-season record in 2010, the freshmen finished fourth at the 2010 Eastern Sprints, their best result in over 40 years at Boston University. They missed out on a Grand Final appearance at the IRAs by 0.244 seconds but came back the following day to win the Petite Final.
Having over 20 years of experience at both the Division I collegiate and high school levels, Lindberg joined head coach Thomas Bohrer's staff full-time after volunteering in 2009 with the Terriers.
He previously served as an account executive with Resolute Racing Shells. Prior to his work with Resolute, John headed up recruiting efforts and the freshman team at Northeastern for more than three years, enjoying medal-producing performances by the squads. He also served as a coach for the U.S. U23 World Championship competition.
First introduced to the sport of rowing as a student at St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, John was coached by master coach Rich Davis. Winning the Princess Elizabeth Cup as a member of the St. Paul's eight at the Henley Royal Regatta was one of the highlights of his early rowing experience. John continued rowing as an undergraduate at Brown University under the guidance of legendary coach Steve Gladstone.
He subsequently represented the United States in the double sculls event at the 1991 Pan Am Games in Havana, Cuba, and continues to compete in masters sculling events.
John and his wife, Maria, have two sons, Kurt and Carl.
