Taylor McCoy '24 Recruiting Profile

Hi my name is Taylor McCoy, I am 17 years old, and going into my senior year at Liverpool High School, where I’m a member of the girl’s Varsity rowing team. I joined my freshman year in 2020 after years of anticipation when my friends older sister had. Since then, I have improved so incredibly much and have advanced to be one of the best rowers in my current program!! I began as seat 7 in my first novice 8+ boat and I have come to really love it. I still think of stern pair as my home on a boat. I have since been placed in the bow of our teams senior 4+ as sophomore, which is an accomplishment I am super proud of, 3 seat in an 8+ for Syracuse Chargers, and this past season I got the opportunity to be back in 7 for a junior 8+! This sport has brought me so much joy, I have never loved going to any of my other practices as much as I do those at our boathouse. We share it with other school and club teams, along with the Syracuse University Boathouse being only be a few yards away. Seeing those girls has solidified my decision to row in college, and I really hope it can become a reality in my future! I would love to have the opportunity to row on a collegiate team while furthering my studies in Veterinary Medicine. School has always been extremely important to me and I believe that my academic and athletic accomplishments reflect that. Most of all, I am excited to strengthen my relationship with this sport.
