Ally Seba
Ally Seba has rowed for the last nine years. She started her rowing career at the internationally renowned Marin Rowing Association in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she rowed for all four years of high school as a stroke seat.
She went on to forge her own path in college as a rowing coach instead of taking the traditional rowing recruitment process. She now coaches at USC during her undergraduate academic semesters and returns to Marin Rowing Association to coach during the school breaks. Simultaneously finishing her undergraduate degree at USC's Viterbi School of Engineering, she is an ACRA Academic Second Team All-American athlete.
​
Currently completing her senior year in Computer Science (B.S.), Ally is excited to build a robust foundation for the class of incoming novices which they can carry with them well after she has graduated. Her main goal is to inspire the same passion she has for rowing.
Caleb Blumenshine
Caleb Blumenshine is an accomplished athlete and team leader. During his three-year tenure with the team, he gained extensive experience with team administration, serving as the VP of Fundraising, Vice Captain, and eventually Captain. During his time as Captain, he assisted in overseeing the team during the most competitive season in its 76 year history. Additionally, he ended all three of his years on the team with the fastest 2k time of any athlete in the program during that period.
Managing his responsibilities as a full-time student of Sociology, student worker, research assistant, athlete, and team Captain likewise taught him the discipline required to win the title of National Champion at the end of his senior year.
Caleb is deeply dedicated to the team’s success and looks forward to seeing the team further unlock the potential he knows is already there. His primary goal is to see USC Men’s Crew establish itself as a dominant force on the West coast in the field of collegiate rowing.
