It’s Rowing, Not Crew

By Mike Jolaoso, Aaron Kim, Perry Avgerinos, and Matt DePillis

Just last year, Crew, or Rowing, was introduced to the Middle School, and Mrs. Konopka has become the head coach of the Upper School Varsity Rowing Program at EA. Mrs. Konopka has a history in Rowing. She attended the University of Pennsylvania, and competed there. She was a letterwinner in 1988. Now Mrs. Konopka has a chance to share her passion with Middle Schoolers, and we interviewed her to find out her thoughts about Rowing.


Calloway Cox, an 8th grader, has been rowing for 3 years. We interviewed her on why she likes to row. She said that it is fun, she likes to row and run, it has taught her discipline, and it has given her upper body strength.
