Favorite CAST memories: Ultimate Frisbee; Panera in Grand Rapids sitting by the fire with Sara Mc and Kristin; Sparty's after practice in the summer.
Words of wisdom: "There is more to life than being really really ridiculously good looking." I am very grateful for my experiences with CAST. I met my best friends and found an amazing support system through my time spent in the pool.  Most importantly I learned that being loud and crazy are valuable characteristics and that singing and dancing can get you through almost anything... specifically workouts (a lesson that I have introduced to the Indiana Rowing family).

Emma is majoring in Marine Biology at UC Santa Cruz.  She is a freestyler for the Banana Slugs.

Favorite CAST memory:
Eating breakfast at Sparty's after every Friday morning workout during summers.
Words of wisdom: You should always try to have more fun than it seems like should be allowed... oh, and whining doesn't make practice go by faster (even though it definitely should).
