We have built something special here in Manhattan and I am grateful to be part of that. Thank you to everyone who has been part of my time here. I cannot wait to see what we accomplish next. Also, a huge thank you to my friends, family, and mentors for your support throughout my career.

During the 2019 season, Felice helped lead the 1v8+ to a gold medal in the grand final at the 2019 SIRA Championships. The season was highlighted by the crew's victory over Kansas at the Dillons Sunflower Showdown. The win solidified a clean sweep over Kansas.
