Atticus Kane
Boys Varsity Head Coach
Atticus Kane started his rowing career in 2014 with Arlington Belmont Crew, finishing his time there as a 2018 MPSRA state champion in the boys varsity 8+. He continued rowing in college for UMass Men’s Rowing, where he sat in the varsity 8+ for multiple years, served on the executive board, and was elected team captain for his senior campaign. He also spent the summer of 2019 training and racing for the CRI U23 program.
Atticus graduated from UMass in 2022 with a B.S. in Kinesiology, and currently works for a landscaping and gardening company based in his hometown, Arlington. Fall 2023 will be Atticus’ first season coaching for BLS, and he couldn’t be more excited to pass along everything he’s learned about this great sport to his athletes. When he isn’t working or coaching, Atticus can be found playing basketball, going to the gym, or rewatching the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Hugh McCabe
Assistant Coach BLS Crew
Emma Katie Mancini
Strength and Conditioning Coach
Andy Hui
Boys Varsity Assistant Coach
Andy learned to row when Boys Crew relaunched in 2015, and served as captain and stroke. The Boys' first official win came at Duel of the Latins, but he couldn’t be prouder of how much more the team has accomplished since. As a freshman at UMass, Andy enjoyed a brief stint with Men's Rowing where he walked on Novice and moved up to Varsity. He sat in bow and occasionally the coxswain's seat, and used the opportunities to develop as a rower and learn more of the sport.
Andy understands firsthand the rigors of balancing BLS academics with sports and extracurriculars. Despite his ultimately brief experience, Andy fell head over heels for Crew and sees it as a place for challenge, camaraderie, and community. He strives to cultivate leadership and that same attitude whether it's Novice or Varsity, believing that "Crew is for Everyone".
Andy does marathons and triathlons and is training for his first 70.3 IronMan. He also enjoys photography, health&wellness, nature, and movies, as well as making music with BU Concert Band, Elevator Five, and Spartans DBC.
