The best part about being on Cal crew is: The team. Everyone is so focused and driven and everyone pushes one another on a daily basis to make themselves and the team better.
I chose Cal because: There was no other school that I could challenge myself both athletically and academically in such a perfect location. The prestige of both the university and the team; everyone around you is always working hard and dedicated to what they're doing. |
