The Falcon Crew team held an additional signing day last week for seniors Gabby Gonzalez and Taylor Kopaskey who will both be signing to row at the Collegiate Division I level.
Gonzalez signed to row at George Mason University while Kopaskey signed to row at Oregon State University.
“Crew has made me realize that I am capable of pushing myself beyond my physical and mental limits,” Gonzalez said. “It means a lot to me that I get the opportunity to row at a Division 1 university.”
Because the crew team is considered only a club at this school, the members were originally not invited to the initial signing day.
However, due to their perseverance, effort, and continued dedication, Principal Dr. Kelly decided to hold an extra, socially distanced, signing at the school.
“I’m extremely excited to row in college because rowing is like an escape from the craziness of school and work where I’m able to concentrate on something I enjoy doing, so being able to continue to row in college seems like a dream,” Kopaskey said.
