Half way through the week and we’re excited to introduce our next 2023 recruit, Kelly Houston! Hometown: Arlington, MA Rowing Program: CRI Why Rowing?: I grew up next to a pond in my town, and my friend and I would always be amazed at these people who were rowing day in and day out, rain or shine. Freshman year I told my mom that I wanted to join crew. She warned me that it was a difficult sport, but what does she know? Let’s just say, listen to your mom’s guidance. Rowing really shaped the person I am today, and I am so grateful for that." #Classof2023 #UMassproud #flagship🚩
