Senior, Wauwatosa East High School
When/Why began rowing:
I started LTR the summer before freshman year. I tried it out because my older brother Hank was on the team and I decided to stick with it.
Favorite workout:
The best work out we've ever done was when we rowed from the junction all the way around the harbor, past the art museum, around to the break wall, and then back to the junction. Nothing's better than the lake in the morning.
Future plans:
Next year I plan on rowing at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, OR.
Favorite aspect of rowing:
My favorite aspect of rowing is the team. This sport forces us all to work together and I think we do that pretty well.
Favorite rowing season & why:
Definitely summer season. I like having morning practices and being able to row out on the lake.
Favorite race & why:
My favorite race was the duels in Skokie, IL. I'm pretty sure we only did it the one time, two years ago but it was awesome. I wish we had more opportunities to duel other crews.
