Maisie Rasmussen '26 Recruiting Profile

When I first started in 2021, rowing stood out to me as a sport because of the satisfaction I got when I did it. I have been so fortunate for the opportunities it has given me and the amazing people I have met through rowing. I've attended camps, traveled, and gained a new understanding of what my fellow athletes have been doing since before I started. I would not be here now without them showing me the ropes. 

In 2023 I had a back injury that took me out for the Spring season. It was hard watching life on the team continue without me. My teammates continued to do amazing and I supported them from the sidelines. I had to learn how to properly take care of my body, how to fuel it, and how to manage injuries or tight muscles so that I could keep coming back stronger. 

I am proud to say that I am healed from my injury, have learned from it, and it has made me even stronger. I am still kicking it with new PRs and race results. 

This sport has given me so much and I can only hope to give back to it.
