Katie Connolly '17 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to row in a competitive program for an academically distinguished college. I think being a successful athlete requires discipline, leadership and positive contributions to group dynamics; I hold myself to a high standard in these three aspects of my athletic life.

In addition to crew, I am a varsity basketball player. Being a dual-sport varsity athlete demonstrates my physical strength and agility, my commitment as a team member and my capacity to balance numerous responsibilities.  Aside from being a teammate, I play an active role in my community. I have had the luxury of working with underserved populations of children and aging adults through Today’s Youth Matter and St. Anne’s Home. Throughout my experience as a collegiate student athlete, I hope to utilize my strengths and to gain the skills that will help me succeed in my future career.
