Founded in 2012 by Sophia Andreatos and Katelyn Schultz, HPU Rowing quickly grabbed the attention of the student body. As such, a culture was created and put the program in a special place in the heart of the High Point community.
By participating in the rowing program at High Point, a student will learn to value the sport’s challenge as it promotes their own personal and educational growth. HPU Rowing trains and develops intelligent successful rowers; our athletes must train and row smarter, not necessarily harder. HPU Rowing is looking for recruits with character; placing more of an emphasis on individual work ethic, academic ability, and a passion for rowing, than size and ergometer scores.
HPU Rowing believes in training the body and the mind. Our student-athletes balance their lives to achieve high standards in both academics and athletics. High Point’s training program is based on quality rather than quantity, which maximizes the student-athletes time to train while allowing them to maintain their responsibilities outside of rowing.
