For our last Senior Spotlight, we’re pleased to honor four years of our 2025-2026 Women’s team president, Sylvia Gimbel! 🎓

Going above and beyond in all that she does, Sylvia not only double majored in Mathematics and Integrative Biology, but also minored in Chemistry as well! This next year, she’ll take her talents to Epic Systems in Madison, Wisconsin to work on technology and software support for hospitals. 💻

Although she had many regattas to choose from, she named MACRA 2023 as her number 1. Starting blown off course and down by boat lengths, Sylvia did as she does and worked with her crew to earn their way back up to a medal! 🥉

Along with rowing, Sylvia spends her time working on diverse projects such as studying sea stars and urchins in tidal pools and computational epidemiological modeling. She additionally enjoys creating art, most notable painting and drawing! 🎨

Sylvia, you’ve been an inspiration to many rowers both on and off the water. You will be missed greatly on Illini Rowing. Congratulations! 🎉

For our next Senior Spotlight, we’re proud to highlight three years of our very own Marie Keating! 🎓

Earning her masters in Library and Information Science, Marie plans to work at a library or museum next year. Additionally, she will continue to row and coach! 📚

Looking back on her past regattas with our team, she chose her favorite to be Head of the Rock 2025. Few take on the challenge of double racing, especially in the VW8+ and the WO2x, but Marie took the opportunity to go for the gold!🥇

On top of rowing, Marie is also a connoisseur of many hobbies. Some of her favorites include biking, reading, and enjoying movie nights with friends! 🎬

Marie, we treasure your authentic, caring personality and ability to light up every room you’re in. Our team will deeply miss you. Congratulations! 🎉

First up for a Senior Spotlight, we have 2026 spring novice, Joan Biyok! 🎓

Majoring in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences, Joan has a few different potential paths to take next year! Deciding between taking a gap year to travel and build up clinical experience or continuing onto a Masters in Health Administration, we have no doubts that Joan will find success wherever she chooses to go. 🩺

Joining our team right in time for 2k season, her favorite race was Lubber’s Cup in Grand Rapids, Michigan! Although the weather conditions were not ideal, Joan showed great determination and improvement through the day. 🚣‍♀️

Outside of rowing, Joan is also part of the ROTC! For hobbies, she enjoys watching movies, baking, arts and crafts, and working out! 💪

Joan, even though your time with us was short, you left a lasting impact! We will miss you on Illini Rowing next year. Congratulations! 🎉
