Marissa Macaro '18 Recruiting Profile

Hi! My name is Marissa Macaro, (I'm the one in the purple shirt in the picture) I'm currently a junior at Farmington high school in Connecticut. This spring 2017 will be my 4th season on first boat varsity. I love my team and I love the sport of rowing!  My current 4K time is 16:51 with a split of 2:06.5 (tested on 9/12/2016) Rowing has taught me many things like self discipline and how hard work can pay off.  Before my freshman year of high school I had no idea what crew was but, after my first day on the water, I really fell in love with the sport.  One of the things I've learned is that you must do everything with passion and my dream is to continue that love and passion of rowing beyond high school and into college.  This coming year I will serve as the captain of my rowing team,  as well as the vice president of my class.
