Lucas Caine '24 Recruiting Profile

As I encourage my team from the back of the boat, I feel an incredible sense of power and unity with my teammates. The synchronized motion of their strokes, the sound of our breathing, and the rhythmic pulse of the boat all blend together in perfect harmony. Rowing has not only become a passion of mine but also a way of life.

I first discovered rowing during my freshman year of high school. As someone who had always been active, I was immediately drawn to the physical and mental demands of the sport. However, it was not until I joined the varsity team that I truly fell in love with rowing. The sense of camaraderie and teamwork that came with pushing ourselves to our limits every day was unmatched by any other activity I had ever participated in.

Through rowing, I have learned the value of hard work, dedication, and resilience. I have experienced both the thrill of victory and the disappointment of defeat, but I have always emerged from each experience as a stronger and more determined athlete. Rowing has taught me to set goals, both individually and as a team, and to work tirelessly towards achieving them.

As I prepare to embark on the next chapter of my life, I am excited to continue pursuing rowing at the collegiate level. I am eager to challenge myself both athletically and academically and to contribute to a team that shares my passion for the sport. I am confident that the skills and values I have gained through rowing will serve me well in all aspects of my life, and I look forward to the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
