With Coach Rob Zdankiewicz at the helm, this team has thrived since its establishment 15 years ago. They have consistently demonstrated their skill and determination, capturing two prestigious Midwest Scholastic Team Championships and earning medals at the National Scholastic Championships on six occasions. Coach Zdankiewicz’s leadership has honed their rowing skills and nurtured the athletes’ personal growth, with over 25 student athletes earning Division I NCAA scholarships, opening doors to higher education and continued success.
The Jaguars’ achievements reflect the hard work, dedication, and camaraderie they foster within the team. Each member contributes to a collective effort that transcends individual accomplishments, embodying the spirit of teamwork and resilience. Their success on the water testifies to the rigorous training and unwavering support they receive from Coach Zdankiewicz, who has been instrumental in shaping their athletic and personal development.
As the Jaguars look to the future, they are eager to continue their winning streak and inspire future classes of rowers. To do so, they require new boats that will enhance their performance and ensure their safety. We are excited to launch our “15 for 15” fundraiser, inviting donors to contribute $15 per month for 15 months to help finance new boats for the Jaguar fleet. This initiative provides a unique opportunity for supporters to play a pivotal role in the team’s journey, investing in the immediate needs and long-term aspirations of these young women.
By joining the “15 for 15” campaign, you will be part of a community committed to empowering the Jaguars to achieve their full potential. Your support will impact their competitive edge and reinforce the values of perseverance, teamwork, and excellence that define the Saint Joseph Academy Jaguars. Together, let’s help the Jaguars reach new heights and continue to make waves in the world of competitive rowing under Coach Zdankiewicz’s inspiring leadership.
