Brent Watson '22 Recruiting Profile

About two years ago, I signed up for a Learn to Row class at my local rowing club on a whim.  I was looking for a way to stay in shape and liked the fact that I would be outside.  I had no idea the huge positive impact this sport would have on my high school and hopefully college career.   I am a very driven rower and can genuinely say that I love this sport.  Since starting rowing, I have improved my erg score every single time.  I am not at my max potential yet and I will strive to continue to improve my strength, speed, and technique.  My coaches always say "Rowing is the ultimate team sport".  I take this responsibility  seriously and enjoy the comradery and motivation we provide each other in becoming the best boat we can be.

In addition to rowing, I am a strong academic performer.  I have maintained a high GPA while taking honors and college level courses.  I have an interest in accounting and finance and would like to combine that with computer science courses.  I am currently a member of the National Honors Society at my school and I have been selected for All County and All District through my performance in symphonic band.

I am excited and ready to be a part of a strong rowing program as I pursue my bachelors degree.  Thank you for reading!
