My name is Skylar Mead, and I'm a Junior at Concord Academy, in Concord Mass. I have been competing with CRI on the U17 and Varsity teams since Freshman Spring. I love the challenge and community that crew had given me over the last couple of years, and I would like to continue pursuing it in college. I'm driven academically and am consistent in my efforts to improve on and off of the water. Outside of school and crew, I've volunteered at the Waterville Valley Adaptive program since I was 14, where I've had the privilege of sharing my love of skiing. I try to approach everything with a positive outlook, and team culture is really important to me in that respect. I would like to find a school that will allow me to grow in my sport, my studies, and as an individual.
