Q:

How long have you been rowing? How did you get into rowing?

A:

I’ve been rowing for 187 weeks plus or minus epsilon.  Freshman year my dad suggested that I try out for the NT rowing team so I did.

Q:

How long have you been rowing for NT? What’s it like being on the team?

A:

Everyone on the rowing team is really supportive and fun to be around.

Q:

Are you planning on rowing after high school?

A:

Hopefully this summer I’ll make the Under 23 National team.  This past summer I was on the U19 Team that competed in Lithuania.  I’m going to row in college.

Q:

What do you like about rowing?

A:

I take pleasure in rowing for many nuanced reasons, although, to summarize, it’s psychologically rewarding to see your hard work lead to success.  Also, I like boolin’ with the boys.

Q: Were you/are you involved in any sports other than rowing?

A: I used to play hockey freshmen year but having rowing practice from 4 to 7 and hockey from 9 to 11 wasn’t healthy so I had to choose.
