Jeff Garbutt

Jeff Garbutt, Head Coach

Jeff Garbutt was named the fourth head coach in the history of the University of Iowa rowing program in October 2021.

Garbutt was an assistant coach on the Iowa staff for seven years from 2013-20. During that time, he helped Iowa reach heights the program had not seen before, qualifying for the NCAA Championships three consecutive years from 2017-19 and reaching No. 7 in the national rankings in 2018, the highest in program history. He returns to Iowa City from La Salle University, where he led the men’s and women’s rowing programs from 2020-21.

Garbutt was on staff in 2017 and 2018 when Iowa was named College Rowing Coaches Association Region 4 Staff of the Year. In 2017, Iowa broke a 16-year NCAA Championship drought and placed 12th nationally. The following year, the Hawkeyes placed a program-best fourth in the Big Ten and set a school scoring record at NCAA’s, putting up 69 points and placing 11th.

Facilities

After years of planning and a successful fundraising campaign, the University of Iowa and its Athletics Department dedicated the P. Sue Beckwith, M.D., Boathouse in September 2009.

The new home for the UI rowing team -- the largest Hawkeye women's team -- is located on the bank of the Iowa River in Iowa City's Terrell Mill Park, near the Mayflower Residence Hall on North Dubuque Street, across the river from City Park.

The building is named for UI alumna P. Sue Beckwith, M.D., a renowned surgeon in Des Moines, who made a $1 million leadership gift to the University of Iowa Foundation to support the campaign to build the boathouse. It is the first UI building named solely for a woman benefactor.

The boathouse, designed to withstand flooding, features a large ergonomics room that houses the UI rowing team's rowing machines, four large boat bays, a state-of-the-art rowing tank that features moving water at various training speeds, locker room and medical-training spaces, and a terrace and community room that can be used by university and community groups. In addition to the UI rowing team, the building houses the UI men's club rowing team and the Old Capitol Rowing Club, a community-based rowing organization administered by UI Recreational Services.
