Just like on the water, your success in graduation came from hard work, balance, and trust in your crew. Wishing you a powerful run into your next chapter. Congrats Jordan Pesantez!
How long have you done Crew?
I've been doing crew for 3 years now
What made you start?
I wanted to try new things and do a team sport and crew was the one I chose, also I wanted an extracurricular for college application.
What are your plans after high school?
My plans after high school are to go to SUNY at Buffalo for electrical engineering.
If you are going to college, will you row in college?
I would like to do it recreationally and if the opportunity comes I'd love to keep competing.
Will you come back and row as an adult?
It all depends on how my life goes. If I find myself living in this area I'd love to row for HRRA but it's all dependent on where the wind takes me.
What is your favorite part about being on the crew team?
By far the best thing about crew has been the camaraderie that comes with being a team that all mimic the same movement. The feeling when you get run in the boat and start cutting through the water is unmatched.
Best song to do a 2k to?
Anything that will make you feel hyped, some personal favorites are 4 Raws by EsDeeKid, Brother Stone by Don Toliver and Bring Me To Life by Evanescence.
What’s something you wish you knew as a novice?
I wish I had more humility back in my first season and a half to know not to make excuses and blame others when in reality it is the whole boat that needs to improve.
