“Really just give yourself 100 percent everyday because, as we’ve seen through this, you don’t know when your last day on campus or in the boathouse or in a classroom with each other is ever going to be so treat every time like it’s going to be the last time we’re together. I’m really, really excited about where this team is going. I just want to thank all of you for what you have done for me. I know we are leaving the team in good hands for the seniors that are coming up next year. You’ve all made the past four years some of the most amazing years of my life and I can’t wait to see what you guys fo with it next.”
