Personal Statement
Hi Coaches!
My name is Lillian (Lilly) Moyer and I am a member of the National Honor Society in the class of 2024 at Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, Colorado. I have been coxing for four seasons with Mile High Rowing Club and love so many aspects of this sport. While I enjoy coxing fast boats and winning medals in regattas, the camaraderie and friendships with my teammates are what I love the most. Coming from a background of musical theater and show choir, I started crew with a bold personality that has made me confident in getting the attention and respect of my rowers. I am a hard worker focused on success both athletically and academically. I am our Men's team captain in 2023, was selected to represent our club to cox at The Head of the Charles, I was awarded the Dean’s Gold Star (GPA>4.0), I was cast as the lead in our school musical, and I was selected to attend both the Women's and Men's U19 US Rowing Olympic Development Program Youth Development camps this summer. The determination and focus I have developed while rowing, whether it's barely over freezing or having to wet launch for an entire season, is also evident in my academic performance. I have taken five AP as well as multiple Honors classes thus far, earning a 4.2 GPA. My Junior year was my toughest and best yet - with a 4.6 GPA including several AP and Honors courses. I am supporting my Club's coaches in Learn to Rows and our technical training program this summer. I will continue to challenge myself academically in my Senior year with additional AP and Honors classes, and am looking forward to several head races this fall. I would be an amazing candidate for your collegiate rowing team!
