Prior to his arrival at Colby, Stokes coached at Trinity College and the University of Massachusetts. A 1990 graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Stokes was a four-time winner of the Head of the Charles Regatta, a four-time U.S. National Champion, and a member of the men's lightweight eight on the 1993 United States Rowing Team.

Mike Kerner begins his first year as assistant coach for the Colby crews after spending six years as an assistant at the University of Rhode Island. Kerner also earned his bachelor’s degree and rowed at Rhode Island.
