Personal
Claire received the Jesuit High School’s History and French awards in 2022, Mathematics award in 2023, and French, Theology, Mathematics, and Science Awards in 2024. She was the 2024-2025 ORU Women's Team Captain. She was inducted into the National Honors Society in 2024. She enjoys hiking, thrifting, and napping. Her older sister’s best friend was a rower, and she convinced Claire to try it out during quarantine. Her mother and two of her aunts fenced for the US Junior Olympic team. One of her cousins plays volleyball for Team USA. She loves racing at the Brentwood International Regatta in Mill Bay, Canada. She is incredibly grateful for the tremendous support her family, friends, coaches, and teammates have given her. From always pushing her to be just a little bit faster to waiting for hours in the wind and rain to cheer her on, it means the world to Claire.
