My name is Annika Mary and I am a junior at Farmington High School. I started rowing in 2021 but initially didn’t join the team because I lived so far from my club. However, in 2022, I found my love and passion for the sport and didn’t care how far I’d have to travel. Now, I couldn’t imagine my life without rowing. My coaches say that I am kind, outgoing, and coachable. I am willing to try new things and my goal is to always get comfortable being uncomfortable. While I am a dedicated athlete, I also excel in academics as well as the arts. I take every honors/AP class available, and have a weighted GPA of 4.19. I play three different instruments in band at school, and am the captain of mock trial. Although I do have many different passions, rowing has my heart and I can’t wait to continue it into the collegiate level.
