Welcome to another episode of the For Stars Podcast, where today we get to hear from the Youth over in the Midwest of the United States, coxswains on the Varsity Men’s team from New Trier, Chicago & St. Ignatius - Cleveland, Kannan Alford (Stanford Men’s Rowing 2027), Chas Knittel (UW Men’s Rowing 2027), and Ellen Ariathurai (USC Women’s Rowing 2027).These athletes LOVE the sport of rowing and to be honest have so much passion that it might knock your socks off, but not just for rowing, but their appreciation and knowledge of the river of which they spend their days in almost everyday - so don’t be surprised if you may think you are reclining back with your pencil and paper back in US History class, learning about river ways and such.Graduating from their programs this spring, Kannan, Chas, and Ellen, have lots to touch on and reflect throughout their time coxing, and get ready to take on their next adventure in the fall coxing for all Division 1 Men’s or Women’s Rowing teams, all in the SAME conference - hard to tell if they all LOVE the Midwest, when they are all shipping out West in August!!Hudson and the Midwest Coxswain Squad talk about their racing schedule for the spring, competition around the nation, what it looks like rowing for a high school team versus a club team atmosphere, and in Ellen’s case, being a woman on a men’s team. In addition to this, the 9th seats chat about their reasonings for signing with their prospective teams and how they aim to make a positive impact there. Be sure to tune into this Midwest 9th Seat podcast with FSP and how rowing brought them all together!Xeno Müller - Elite Rowing CoachMake your rowing dreams real!
