Athlete Q&A

Why did you choose K-State?

I chose K-state because I was raised a Wildcat. Everyone in my family either graduated from K-State or goes to school here now so the choice was easy for me.

How is rowing different than other sports you've been involved in?

Rowing is different from other sports I've been involved in because there are no stars on the team. Everyone works hard for the benefit of the whole boat and the whole team.

What keeps you coming back to the team each year?

The girls are what keep me coming back! Rowing has given me my best friends.
