Ava Gaudio '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello, thank you for viewing my page! I began rowing in 2019 as a Novice athlete. After falling in love with the sport, I transitioned to the varsity team at Maritime Rowing Club about a year later. The structure and team aspect rowing has to offer something I find very unique and special about the sport. This concept has really driven my success both athletically and educationally. 

I have been rowing at Maritime Rowing Club for the past 3 years. I began racing in 2020 as a Novice primarily in quads and doubles. As I progressed, I transitioned to the Varsity girls team and rowed my first major race at the Head of the Charles in a u17 quad in 2021 (3rd place). Since then, I have competed at both regionals (2nd) and nationals (11th), as well as the San Diego Crew Classic in the u17 4x winning 4th in the Varsity Category. Although my first 3 years of rowing primarily consisted of sculling, over the summer of 2021 I began sweeping. My team and I swept in a Novice 8+, achieving 1st at Saratoga Invitational. I also rowed in a 4+ at the Head of the Fish (4th place). After I concluded my fall season at Maritime, I transitioned to Greenwich Crew in Greenwich, CT.
