The Huskies won the Washington State dual, the Windermere Cup and the Oregon State dual during the regular season ... collected a silver medal in the varsity eight event at the Pac-10 Championships ...

Personal: Daughter of Victor Aron and Lindy Edward ... father attended Northwestern and is self employed ... mother is a nurse ... has one younger brother, David (20) who is currently a sophomore on the UW crew team.
I chose Washington because: Because it has dominated women's rowing in the last decades and because its women's and men's teams are seen as equals rather than being regarded as a hierarchy.
