Canes Rowing Signs Catherine Notarfrancesco
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — University of Miami head rowing coach Dave Sanderson announced Wednesday the signing of Catherine Notarfrancesco to a National Letter of Intent.
Notarfrancesco is the Hurricanes’ lone signee this spring, but becomes the ninth member of Miami’s incoming recruiting class. The Canes signed eight future members of the rowing program in the fall signing period.
“We can’t wait to have Catherine join the squad in the fall,” Sanderson said. “She brings good racing and training experience from a great program and we are excited to help her develop even more speed. She’ll join a strong class that’s ready to get to work here at Miami.”

Notarfrancesco comes to Miami after an outstanding career in Connecticut that featured several medal-winning performances at prestigious regattas around the country. Notarfrancesco helped her boat win a gold medal at the 2016 USRowing Youth Nationals. She also was in the stroke seat of the Second Varsity Eight that took home a silver medal at the 2017 Northeast Regionals Regatta and helped earn a bronze medal in the Second Varsity Eight event at the 2018 San Diego Crew Classic.
“We are extremely proud to announce the addition of Catherine Notarfrancesco to the Canes Rowing family,” Miami assistant coach Briana Pittman said. “She has been rowing for the last five years at the number one high school program in the country. We are confident and excited about the contribution she will make to the team over the course of her four years here. Catherine is joining a strong championship-caliber class and will undoubtedly help take University of Miami rowing to the next level.”
Notarfrancesco and the eight fall signees will join the Hurricanes prior to the start of the 2018-19 academic year.
