Alexandra Galyavina '28 Recruiting Profile

A college with a thriving rowing program, where every practice pushes limits and every teammate works together to excel, is where I feel at home. My goal isn’t just to make the team—I want to help it grow stronger, build a spirit that makes every victory sweeter. Off the water, I want to be tested academically, stretching my mind as well as my body.

What makes me a strong candidate?Commitment, grit, and an absolute love for the sport. Six days a week, I’m on that water—not because I have to be, but because I love it. I set goals, work to improve every season, and bug my coaches for every tip and trick that can make me a better rower.

As a bow rower, I understand the balance of precision and power, and I embrace that responsibility fully. I also juggle a tough academic schedule and my passion for classical voice, giving my all in every area I pursue. I’m ready to bring that same energy and dedication to your team, making each stroke, and challenge count.
