Zach Chipperson '25 Recruiting Profile

I started rowing in September of 2023. I have played football and lacrosse since I was young. However, I found that playing the line in football was not keeping me fit enough for lacrosse so I decided to row this past fall. I found that I really enjoyed rowing and had pretty good success with it so I decided to switch from lacrosse to rowing in this upcoming spring season. I have already been training in the weight room for the past three years, and rowing lets me apply my strength in a different way. I would like to row in college because even though I started the sport late, I believe I am picking it up very quickly and will continue to improve rapidly as I progress through my first year. I think that I possess a unique drive to achieve higher levels of performance, and that by the time I am in college I will be able to compete with the best. In college I would also like to continue focusing on the STEM based classes of my education, and I currently plan on pursuing a major in either Computer Science or Electrical Engineering.
