Personal
Cara was Lehigh Universitys Athlete of the Year and Most Valuable Female Rower in 2005. She won the Linda Strassberg Award in Journalism and Communication for top honors thesis, the Williams Writing and Performance Prize, and was accepted into the President's Scholar Program. She was senior captain of women's varsity crew in 2004-05. She enjoys writing, cooking, listening to podcasts, reading autobiographies and memoirs, traveling and eating the local cuisine, and drinking coffee. Cara loves to write and is fascinated by the human mind and psychology of sport. She marries the two at her blog, which she hopes is a resource for young rowers and aspiring elites (https://carastawicki.com). She and her husband, Kyle, will be celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary in November. One of her favorite things to do is spend time with her husband. They started dating freshman year in college, so actually have been together for more than 20 years. Cara loves weightlifting and hopes to pursue Olympic lifting (for fun, not in competition) when shes done rowing. She also wants to learn to play golf. She was a swimmer growing up and one of her teammates who was a year older started rowing her freshman year of college. Cara erged with her when she came home for winter break and then went to check out the Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia. She walked on the team as a freshman at Lehigh, fell in love, and never looked back. She lists her mom as her personal hero because she is strong, smart, generous, and just simply incredible.
