Mary has won Most Team Spirit two times at her club. Her coaches believed that she maintained a positive attitude every day. She also received Oarswoman of the year because she exemplified the values of my team, as well as being a determined and strong rower throughout the year. She is a three-time Academic letter winner, having maintained a GPA of a 3.85 or higher for three years. She enjoys going to church youth group, hanging out with family, watching Law & Order: SVU, talking to friends, and playing with her dogs! In 2020, during COVID, she randomly found her team’s boathouse when on a walk in a park in her city! They had a sign out that said to try their learn-to-row camps. She decided that she had nothing better to do, so she tried it! She loved it instantly. After rowing, she would like to continue to carry the values that rowing has given her. Rowing has taught her so many life lessons that she would love to pass on to future generations. Being a five-foot-tall rower has made finding her place in the sport somewhat difficult. With coastal rowing, she was able to find my place and people. Everyone here is so welcoming, and she feels recognized for her talent, rather than being overlooked for her height.
