Favorite Erg Piece:
--2k relays, always great competition and fun to compete it.
Favorite Cox'n Calls:
--I was a full-time cox so my favorite calls would have to be my own! I was well known for "Drive" probably the most famous or infamous call I used my freshman year..."Power Ten!" and "10 to wind, 10 to grind, 10 to find".
Favorite Rowing Memory:
--Too many to just pick one, but Mike DeNucci already gave one of them with the 400 meter sprint at Topeka my last race. I would have to say two other great memories both came at the Head of the Des Moines (one of my favorite courses to cox because of the windy river). First memory from Des Moines was fall semester of my first experienced year. We were racing a mixed eight and we were the last boat to start. We ended up passing every single boat that started ahead of us and finishing first by a good margin. Second memory from Des Moines was another mixed eight. Prior to leaving shore we heard the ISU coach bad mouthing our team...which only motivated us more. We started a few boats back from ISU and made it our goal to pass them. We did end up passing them on the final 500 meters right in front of everyone on shore, however no one in the boat believed we were catching them until we pulled up on their stern. When we got off the water, all the ISU coach could say was "good race" and look away in defeat. Priceless moment!
If you could be any superhero who would you be and why?
--Superhero: Iron Man, fighting evil and flying in a suit would be pretty awesome.
