Hi, I'm Maria Cummins-Astor, a High School Junior. I started Crew Sophomore year after tearing my ACL and not being able to return to softball; I quickly found a place on the team as a coxswain. Coxing felt perfect as it has similarities to my other athletics (ie. providing information and direction for my teammates, and being able to positively affect my team). By the end of the season I realized how much joy Crew brought me, that I was ready to stick with the sport and take it to the next level.
