Harder
Hometown: Redlands, Calif.
Major: Accounting and Finance. Class of 2006.
Background: Honor roll student every semester since arriving
at Sac State three years ago. Rows on Sac State’s varsity women’s
rowing team. One of 124 women to receive the 2004 National Scholar-Athlete
Award from the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association. Interns with the
business office of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Getting here: “I was a runner in high school and
I wanted to get into a different sport in college. I chose Sac State after
researching all the CSU campuses that had a rowing program. The coach
here was friendly and encouraging. Also, Sac State has a beautiful rowing
facility – that was a big advantage to going to school here.”
Changes: “When I first came to school here, I spent
all my time studying and rowing. Now, I’m able to relax more and
let it all go. I’m enjoying life more. I can watch a movie, or hang
out with friends, or just do nothing.”
Proudest
accomplishment: “I’m proud that I’ve succeeded
as an athlete and made the honor roll every semester I’ve been here.
Last year I received the National Scholar-Athlete Award. It was nice to
be honored for both academics and rowing.”
Destination:
“I may go into accounting. I see myself working in a big corporation
with a lot of people in a big city. The contacts I’ve made here
are leading me to where I want to go.”
