Magill has been involved in rowing for almost as long as she can remember, but in real time, almost 20 years. As a 4-year varsity women's coxswain at Bates College (Div III), she coxed crews to medals at Head of the Charles, Head of the Connecticut, Dad Vails, ECACs, Champion International Collegiate Regatta, and New England Championships, qualifying for post-season nationals regattas in her junior and senior years. Magill started coaching during her undergraduate summers, instructing sculling at Austin Rowing Club in Texas. During graduate school and law school, Magill was a volunteer assistant coach for the University of North Carolina novice women's crew, The College of William & Mary women's crew, and coxed and rowed for Carolina Masters Rowing Club, Virginia Boat Club and Mendota Rowing Club in Madison, Wisconsin. Over the last decade, Magill has also coxed for a number of composite masters crews and alumni crews at most of the big eastern regattas and at masters rowing camps. As a coach for Rio Salado's Learn to Row classes, she strives to help new masters rowers get hooked on the world's best sport. Her favorite place in the Valley is the east dam of Tempe Town Lake, preferably just after sunrise when the birding is good. Magill recently completed her USRowing Level 3 coaching certification.
