Laura McKenzie '26 Recruiting Profile

I started rowing in grade eight at 13 years old and have loved it since. Through rowing I have grown to be a better person through meeting new people I would have never met before and being part of a team. I have also learned a sense of responsibility by rowing, through my club putting on "learn to rows" and volunteering to help people learn to row. This is something I did not expect to get out of joining rowing. Lastly, I like rowing because you get out what you put in, and as a person who likes to give their best at everything I have found this rewarding and motivates me to keep going even if it is hard.
