He's one of my best friends. We call each other and talk all the time about rowing and whatever. The main reason I thought about Cornell was because of my brother. Ken, who competes on the Cornell crew team, remains a major influence. I still try to mediate what she does.
Many rowers burn out both mentally and physically before they get to college.
I want to make sure she doesn't get burned out. For now, Davies wants to concentrate on college and everything rowing has to offer. I really admire that. She has a very special quality of dedication. Davies is one of the top youth rowers in the country, and will be working out with the junior national team this summer for the second year in a row.
