Why Lehigh? “I chose Lehigh for its combination of academics and support of athletics and student life.”

On Coach Moorehead: “Coach Moorehead is a great guy, an excellent motivator, and has been involved in coaching rowing at the collegiate level for some time now, so he has the experience to help the team perform.”

On the Lehigh student-athlete experience: “It requires you to push yourself as an individual to balance both academics and athletics, but is worth far more than any sacrifices it requires you to make.”
