Reason:

"I grew up in Saxtons River, Vermont [United States of America] as a cross-country skier competing at multiple junior national championships with many podium finishes. I attended a ski academy, Stratton Mountain School, from eighth grade to 11th grade. Towards the end of my time there I knew that I didn't want to ski in college and decided to transfer schools for my senior year to Vermont Academy to pursue rowing. Before I transferred, a few ski coaches I knew had encouraged me to try rowing. I had attended a summer rowing camp at Craftsbury Outdoor Center [in Vermont] but I had only been in a boat a few times before trying it out in college." (concept2.com, 30 Mar 2021)

General Interest

General
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING
She was an elite-level cross-country skier in her youth, winning medals at national junior level. She says her skiing experience gave her knowledge that benefits her rowing. "I think the biggest thing that translated from rowing to skiing was my understanding of training plans, what heart rate zones mean, how workloads are cycled and how it affects your body. My high school ski coach is one of the most successful coaches in the US so he had us training at a high level." (concept2.com, 30 Mar 2021)

INDOOR WORLD RECORD
In March 2021 she set an indoor rowing 2000m world record during a test. "I definitely had an idea of that split [needed for a world record] very deep in my mind, but I wasn't planning on it. I knew how I wanted to start the piece. What happened after that took me by surprise." (worldrowing.com, 01 Apr 2021)
