Cornell University Athletics

Why Perez Chose Cornell: When I first visited campus, I could instantly picture myself at Cornell. Cornell offers me the opportunity to grow academically and athletically, pairing a prestigious school with a competitive rowing team. The huge course variety was very attractive to me, and I know it will help me choose my major. The coaches and team welcomed me, and I can’t wait to become part of both the rowing family and the international Cornell network.

At Cornell
Junior (2015-16): Perez rowed in the varsity four B and the varsity four A during her junior season. The crew opened the year with a victory over Penn and UMass at the Doc Hosea Invitational Regatta.
