The University of Tulsa's women's rowing team was first formed in 1996 . It has seen several head coaches over the past eight years, however, the current head coach is Kevin Harris.

Beginning his third season as the head rowing coach at the University of Tulsa is Kevin Harris. Harris became the fifth head coach of the University of Tulsa Women's Rowing Team on July 9, 2002.

Since taking over the helm of the Golden Hurricane rowing program in 2002, he has steadily built TU towards a stronger position within the rowing world.

During his second season as head coach in 2003-4, Harris took a small Golden Hurricane squad and steered it through a successful season. TU concluded the fall by finishing ninth among 54 boats at the Prestigious Head of the Charles in the club 4+ event. During the spring, the Golden Hurricane managed to turn in first-ever victories against the University of Iowa at Longhorn Invitational and won races against Drake, Kansas, and SMU in the varsity-4 category. Additionally, the 2004 season saw the Golden Hurricane make its first ever appearance at the Dad Vail Collegiate regatta where Tulsa's Novice-8 finished 4th in a strong field.

Even though 2003-4 was a building year, Harris' hard work resulted in a strong foundation for the future of the TU rowing program. The team was able to attract 17 high quality recruits from around the United States and Canada to fill out the 2004-5 roster.

The university of Tulsa added an unprecedented amount amount of new equipment to its inventory to its inventory including two new 8's and four new 4's. The university of Tulsa will also use that support to look at an expansion of facilities to help the women's rowing team in 2004-05.
