Thank you Stewards of 1874 and my Wisco Rowing family!
I want to thank WHPTC and Wisconsin Rowing Stewards of 1874 for supporting my return to the senior national team in hopes of making my second Olympic team in LA 2028.
This year has come with many challenges as I am also balancing a full curriculum as a Doctor of Pharmacy student here at UW Madison. It has been an absolute privilege to train out of Porter Boathouse again-it feels like home.
With racing season in full swing while on summer break, it’s been a fun and rewarding block of training and racing so far. I won the women’s single at National Team trials this April, and helped the women’s 4x claim gold at World Cup II in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Next up is Lucerne Switzerland for World Cup III on the Rotsee, my favorite place to race!
I will race the 2x with partner Emily Kallfelz beginning with heats this Friday the 29th, semis Saturday, and finals Sunday. I will also race the mixed 2x again Sunday (final only). Catch all live streaming, replays, and results on Worldrowing.com!
Thank you again for helping me get to the starting line to put my best racing down for USA and Wisco Rowing!
On Wisconsin!
