Rowing Alumni

We're extremely proud of the GI Rowers who have continued their competitive rowing careers into college.

There are few local high school sports that can claim this degree of success at producing athletes that move onto collegiate competition (and beyond).

Coach Kristen, Allison Duffy, Sarah Schmidt, Kellie Lapointe, Ashley Wenneman, Theresa Shields, and Coach Scott at the 2008 Big Ten Championships. Poor weather cancelled the WyHi regatta, providing the GIHS coaching staff with the unique opportunity to watch former GIHS rowers competing in the conference championship - which MSU won.
