Ava Burnham '21 Recruiting Profile

I'm going into my sophomore year in high school, and I have been coxing since the beginning of 8th grade in 2016. I joined the varsity team as a freshman in 2017, coxing the top women's varsity boat during the fall, and coxing the top men's varsity boat during spring season in 2018. I'm open to coxing for both men and women.  During the winter of 2017, I attended a Sparks coxing camp in Sarasota, and learned many skills from the coaches there. With my first year on varsity, I often helped my coach in where the boats could go on the trailer, what oars we needed to take, and when our races were. After the spring season of 2018, I received the coxswain award from my club at our yearly banquet.  I aspire to attend the Head of the Charles and the Canadian Henley during my rowing career.
