My name is Henry Allison. My goal is to row at the highest level. My father rowed at University of Washington, was a four time IRA champion and trained with the US National team. I started high school as a three sport athlete (crew, football, and basketball) and won freshman awards in both rowing ("Hammer Award" for best erg score) and football (Best Defensive Lineman). I'm in my junior year now and 100% committed to rowing. My current 2K erg score is 6:28 and my goal is to be sub 6:10. I am a motivated and highly coachable athlete with the drive, physical ability and talent to row in at a D1 program. Sports motivate me to do well in school and have really helped me develop as a young man who is a team player, hard worker and mentor to more junior kids. I am looking for a college where I can develop as an athlete, a person and a professional. I've got big dreams of going far in this sport and want to represent your team beyond college as an alum.
Update: I joined NorCal crew in October 2024 because I wanted to train and compete at a higher level. I am excited that I made the 1V 8+ with this new team for my first regatta with the team for the Head of the American, where we earned a sliver medal. I also won a Gold in the NorCal 4+ at the same regatta.
