Q: What are the common characteristics that make a good rower?
A: A good rower is someone who knows how much work it really takes to be the best. Characteristics that are needed include perseverance, determination, strong work ethic and team oriented to say a few. I believe in my teammates and I know we will work hard to have a successful season and hopefully a Dad Vail Championship.

Q: What position do you hold on the team?
A: My position on the team last year was in the bow of the boat. In the boat seat, I help to keep the boat set up, which means keep the boat in a level plane to allow the speed of the boat to continue with as little resistance as possible. It takes eight skilled rowers and an intelligent and motivational coxswain to make a boat go fast.

Q: Has rowing changed you as a person?
A: I have been rowing for six years now, and it has made me who I am. The intense training and hard work has made me a very determined person. In this sport, it is all about who has trained the best to get his or her body and skill to the highest level, so this idea has overflowed into my life.
