Nicholas Scarano '25 Recruiting Profile

I didn't know much about crew before my freshman year of high school, I had erged a few times at the gym and liked it enough that my parents got an erg of our own for the house. But I had never considered signing up for my school's crew team until my mom convinced me to give it a try. Within the first week of practices I immediately fell in love with sport and haven't looked back since. My hard work and dedication has led me to success my whole life and it has only furthered my ability as an athlete on the water. I strive to be the best I can be, and push myself mentally and physically. During my first ever 5k test, I placed myself between the two strongest ergers to push myself to be the best I can. I surprised myself and my team by placing first in the test by 9 seconds. 

In school I take my studies seriously, enrolling honors level classes and thriving in each one. I also do extracurriculars such as the DECA business club teaching me real life scenarios and how to handle them. Being a three season and two sport varsity athlete and a captain for my swim club has taught me how to manage my time efficiently. I also enjoy skiing in the winter months, spending time with my family and friends and reading as much as I can. 

My dad tells me to say Yes I can it three times before every race or event I take part in, because believing in yourself is the first step towards success.
