Men’s team captain Mason Mims is a recent graduate of Pope High School! He has rowed with AJ for the past 4 years, and plans to head to Kennesaw State University this fall to study biology. Mason says he will miss the strong friendships he’s built from the team, both through time spent together at practice, and the moments shared outside of rowing. He describes learning how to lead others while understanding what it means to be a supportive and active member of different communities as the most important lesson he’s learned from the team. Thank you, Mason! 🎓🎉

Carter Whitley is a recent graduate of Pope High School, and heading to University of North Carolina this fall! He has been on the team for the past five years. Carter’s favorite AJ memory is winning the men’s 8+ at Southeast Regionals a few weeks ago, the first time in club HISTORY! 🏆👊 Congratulations, Carter!

Kevin Prakash has been on the team for six years, and recently graduated from Wheeler High School! He is going to Purdue University this fall, and planning on studying mechanical engineering and “becoming an intramural demon.” Kavin has spent 4 years sitting in bow seat, and says his favorite AJ memory was going to nationals in the U17 8+. He says, “the people who were part of that nationals group and all the experiences I had during training and the week of nationals made the entire thing something I’ll never forget.” Good luck, Kavin! 🎓👏
