Hello! My name is Alex Falco and I am an incoming sophomore on the Boston College Rowing team. My hometown is Manhasset, NY. I did gymnastics for 15 years then transferred to rowing for a couple years and was lucky enough to get recruited.I was new, I had no idea what was going on, and of course in a sport like rowing there are many stereotypical “preppy” people who are extremely judgmental. I accepted the challenge. I fought and practiced everyday and was lucky enough to to become the fastest one on the team. I walked in everyday with a smile on my face despite what everyone was saying about me and did what I needed to do and it all worked out!
