Hello! My name is Chloe McAuliffe, and I am a senior at the Groton School, a boarding school in Groton, MA. I am 17 years old (I turned 17 on June 21st).
I began my rowing career in March 2024 on the varsity team at Groton and have been rowing ever since. Groton has a long tradition of distinction in rowing, with fantastic coaches and a team culture.
In my first spring rowing season, I rowed in the stroke seat on my boat. I immediately caught the rowing bug, drawn to the enormous discipline, consistency, athleticism, and teamwork required to achieve excellence. Our team had a very successful season and followed with an exciting post-season summer opportunity to row in the UK, racing at several regional regattas, as well as the Henley Women's Regatta, and last fall at the Head Of the Charles Regatta. I will be at HOTC again on October 19th, 2025!
Before discovering rowing, I was a multiple-sport athlete at Groton and middle school, with a particularly long history in competitive squash. I am the Captain-elect of the Varsity Squash team at Groton. I have earned all-ISL and All-New England honors on our team every year. We finished #2 in Division II of the National High School Championships in both March 2025 and March 2024. We also won the All-New England NEPSAC Championship in March 2025. Beyond rowing and squash, I played on the Groton Junior Varsity Field Hockey and Tennis teams.
Academically, I have broad interests in the Classics and Sciences and have taken a rigorous schedule of AP and Honors classes, including AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP World History, AP Computer Science, AP English, and Latin 5. Groton was recently named the #1 High School in the United States by Niche, which has provided me with the most rigorous environment to develop as a student.
I pride myself on being a well-rounded and dynamic person. I am an active musician and part of both the Chapel Evensong Choir and Groton’s a cappella singing group, The Maqubellas. I also hold several leadership positions, including Third Form Dorm Prefect, Chapel Prefect, Acolyte Prefect, and Global Education Opportunities Board Member and Head of the Classics Club. I am a Senior Peer Tutor for our school community and also involved in multiple clubs and groups on campus.
In college, I am focused on continuing to develop as a competitive rower in a stimulating academic environment. I have loved the camaraderie of rowing, its profoundly team-oriented nature, the hard work, and the enormous reward that comes with it.
