Dear Bucknell Men’s Crew Community,
My journey with rowing started when I attended a summer camp before 8th grade. That experience sparked a love for the sport, and I began rowing in 9th grade. Ever since, the draw of the water, the drive to push past my limits, and the thrill of competing with another dedicated crew have become central to my life.
As a member of Bucknell Men’s Crew, I’ve been able to take that passion to new heights. Rowing has become so much more than just a sport—it’s where I’ve met some of my closest friends and faced challenges that have shaped me both on and off the water. Training alongside my teammates and striving toward our shared goals, I’ve found a home and a family here. The spirit of this team and the dedication of my coaches have taught me the importance of perseverance, focus, and mutual support.
This year, I’m more motivated than ever. Whether it’s preparing to take on our top competitors or sharpening our technical skills, we’re fully committed to making this season our best yet. Each day, as we line up for practice and races, I feel a strong sense of pride wearing Bucknell’s colors, knowing that I’m part of something much bigger than myself.
To our alumni, families, and friends, thank you for your unwavering support. Your generosity and dedication to our program provide us with invaluable resources that make our success possible. It’s an honor to represent Bucknell, and I look forward to making you all proud as we take on the challenges of this season.
Go Bison!
