EMILY ROCKETT

Home City/State: Ithaca, NY

An enthusiastic but not very talented cross country and track runner throughout high school and College, Emily discovered rowing while studying abroad at Oxford University. After her crew (Exeter W1) won highest blades on the river in 2009 Torpids, she was hooked. After a year away from the sport that coincided with her first year of law school, she joined a local boat club and taught herself to scull. Over the past ten years, she has trained and raced predominantly in the 1x, medaling in Masters events at the Head of the Charles, the Head of the Hooch, and CRASH-B's. She also has three Fish Heads proudly displayed on the wall in her office. 

A hysterectomy slowed her down temporarily, but has not stopped her quest to break a 7:00 2k before she turns 40. She is very excited to row at more regattas in bigger boats with the amazing women of Endeavor!  

When Emily is not rowing, she loves to run, hike, cross-country ski, and camp in beautiful upstate New York. She is the General Counsel of Ithaca College.
