Reason for choosing UW-Madison: Loved the school atmosphere when I visit ted the school in the summer. I understood how Wisconsin was a place where I could receive an education from a top research university as well as compete at the highest level. 

What Wisconsin Rowing means to me: In means putting your body on the line. You know that the 7 other oarsmen are pulling their hardest and you don't want to be the one who makes your boat fall short.
