Lumen Christi Catriana Carroll (44) looks to pass during a high school girls basketball game at Lumen Christi High School on Friday, Jan 10, 2020.

On the volleyball court, Carroll set a new school record with 495 kills last fall and added 131 full house coque iphone 6 coqueiphone131862 blocks, 404 digs and 107 aces. She was selected first team all conference in the Interstate 8 and all region and closed out her varsity career with 1,767 kills. She was also a key member of the Lumen Christi girls tennis team at No. 1 doubles coque gel 360 huawei p9 and helped the team to a regional championship and a Top 10 finish at the Division 4 state finals.

Now, she’s putting all of those skills together for a brand new career in rowing.

“I was at a travel basketball tournament and an assistant coach on the Michigan State (University) coque huawei p30 lite liquide rowing team saw me play and noticed my size and strength,” said Carroll. “After that, they started messaging me and they were asking me to come out there and check out their program.

“I ended up taking three visits there and went to a rowing camp, too. I had a lot of fun at the camp and that really made me think about taking a future in rowing seriously. The teamwork that is involved and the feel of the boat as you’re moving together as one coque iphone 6 se anten33145 unit is a really unique experience and I really enjoyed it.”

Carroll was originally planning to commit to the Spartans rowing program until former head coach Matt Weise was fired by athletic director Bill Beekman in July of 2019.

“I does a coque iphone 6 fit a 7 coque7iphone13441 had a few (scholarship) offers for volleyball and basketball, but I really wanted to try something new,” she said. “I was originally planning on committing to the Michigan State rowing team but they had a few coaches leave last summer coque huawei p10 lite winnie and one of their coaches (Samantha Sarff) who had been recruiting me to go to Michigan State ending up going to Louisville.

“She reached out to me and asked me if I wanted to come out there and check out the campus and see if I would be open to going to school out of state. I went down there for a visit and I just coque huawei fnac fell in love with the campus and the environment there.”

The trip to Louisville, Kentucky in August of 2019 pushed Carroll even further toward a career in rowing and when Louisville head coach Derek Copeland offered her a scholarship, she committed to the Cardinals two weeks later.

“I never coque iphone 6 transparente avec bordure anten34569 really would have imagined myself going to Louisville to row and do tennis coque iphone 6 coque7iphone14139 something that is so different than anything I’ve ever done before,” Carroll said. “I’ve been playing basketball, volleyball and tennis pretty much my whole life, but I was really drawn to Louisville and the coaches and players there.

“Their head coach (Derek Copeland) has a great philosophy and he brings a lot of positive persona 5 joker 4 iphone case energy to the program. I asked him how a 17 year old girl knows when she should just give up the sports that she’s known her entire life and try something different. He basically said that any 17 year old girl who is willing to work hard and be a member of a team has the potential to be a good rower.

“That kind of stuck with me and made me realize iphone 7 fits coque iphone 6 coqueiphone137532 that I can do this.”

The decision might seem nerve wracking to some but Carroll is up for the challenge.

“I just decided to go for it,” she said. “It’s a new challenge and I’m boston celtics icon iphone 6 6s coque cover really excited about the opportunity. I really like the girls that are already in the program, and I’ve had a few Zoom meetings with them and I think it’s going to be a really fun experience.”

It’ll likely take a few months of training for Carroll to become an immediate impact performer for the Cardinals but she believes her previous experiences will set her up well at the college level.

“I think my work ethic and my ability to work as a member of a team translates really well to rowing,” she said. “In volleyball, you have to be constantly communicating with your teammates and you are relying coque iphone 6 cuir rose anten30287 on them in order to help you be successful at your job. You have to work together and have confidence in each other and I’ve always had that for my teammates in the sports that I play, coque iphone 6 hooks to belt coqueiphone138206 so I know I’ll be able to do that when I get into the rowing program.

“There’s a lot of technique involved, and I’m still learning that aspect of it. Louisville has a machine where you coque telephone lumineuse iphone 6 anten31000 sit down and there are oars placed in a pool of water while you sit and you use it. It really helps you work on your technique so that’s a really cool part of the training involved.”

The coronavirus pandemic has forced all sports training to take alternative routes, but creativity has helped rowers master their craft during the offseason.

“We get our official workout plans in June but basically what you do is you choose a major john varvatos coque iphone 6 coqueiphone143874 and a minor workout program with the coaches,” Carroll said. “You can either do running, erg training (ergometer machine), or circuit training. I have an erg machine at my house, so I will probably use that a lot, but it’s a fun way to get better while we wait for things to go back to normal.

“You do the major workout plan five days a week and the minor workout two days a week. Lung capacity detroit tigers mascot iphone 6 6s coque cover and endurance are important parts of training because you have to be able to continue rowing through an entire race, so that’s a big focus right now.”..
