Amaris Hinton: Baltimore Community Rowing Alumna talks High School and Collegiate Rowing

#011 - Amaris Hinton is unlike many rowers, regardless of age or race. She talks about her 9-year rowing career starting as a 5’ 8” sixth grader at the Reach High program of Baltimore Community Rowing, which led to an elite rowing career on the 2015 U.S. Rowing Junior National Team, 2015-2016 Youth National Championships, and 2016 Henley Women’s Regatta. Now, she's a sophomore at Rutgers University rowing on the Women's Crew Team. What's unique about her experience is that she goes from a mostly black high school rowing team to a mostly white collegiate rowing team. Regardless, her experiences and accomplishments say that neither age nor race are an obstacle for achieving greatness in rowing.
