Husky Rowing Experience: 2002 (Freshman)--Rowed two seat in the freshman eight that won a gold medal at IRAs ... member of crew that went undefeated all season ... helped lead Huskies to a gold medal at Pac-10's and the San Diego Crew Classic ... also contributed to victories at the Windermere Cup, California, Washington Sate and Oregon State duals.

Personal: Son of Peter and Linda Heylin ... mother attended University of California, Berkeley ... father attended Cornell ... both parents are veterinarians ... has three older sisters, Tera (23), Judi (32) and Maya (32).

I chose Washington because: The weather, the area and the atmosphere.
The best thing about Seattle is: The punk scene.
The best thing about UW is: The campus.
Favorite class: Comparative Literature 270 with Willis Konnick.
My best race was: 2002 Pac-10's, we beat second place by five seconds.
After I graduate, I plan to: Teach history, make movies and coach.
If I could tell my incoming teammates one thing, it would be: Stay true to your friends and live in the dorms for only one quarter. That's all the time you need to make friends.

Heylin says: "Jebo te pas mater."

Go Huskies!
