Michael Borchers '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Michael Borchers and I'm a rower for the Paratti Rowing Club of The Woodlands. I really enjoy the time I spend on the water and working out with the guys from the team. The team atmosphere  is great, we all get along pretty well and we compete all the time to push ourselves more. The competitive atmosphere is also great, we are all supporting and congratulating each other and taking the podium on most races.

I consider myself to be a good asset to a college row team because of my consistency and effort put into the sport. This is my first year rowing (I'm a freshman in highschool) and I have loved the sport and look forward to continue rowing both through high school and college. I think what most has helped me like the sport is the fact that it is on the water. Being on the water saturday mornings before all my friends are even awake and being on the water getting meters in is a great feeling. 

I want to row at a competitive college level. I consider myself to finish what I start, and I will continue with row until the end.
