WHY LEHIGH? “I chose Lehigh because it felt the most fitting. It is close to home, is the perfect size and offers a strong education. I also planned to study engineering and Lehigh is well known for its engineering program.”
ON THE COACHING STAFF: “I have a lot of respect for both Coach Harding and Coach Conley because they have a lot of experience in competitive rowing, and they know what it means and what it takes to make a successful program. They are very dedicated to the sport and they know how to gain the respect of their team. In the short time they have coached me, I have learned a lot from them.”
