Audrey Corriere (12) - Crew
Did you have a sports season this fall for your sport? If yes then what were some limitations you experienced or how was it different from how it usually was? If you didn’t have a sports season what did you do?
Yes we did have a season. So what we did was we ran a modified season. Normally for crew we’re in large boats with eight or four people in them at a time, and because of the pandemic we were social distancing so we were in boats that are singles, so there’s only one person in the boat at a time, and we also weren’t able to do our full racing schedule so we only could a scrimmage against our own team.
How did the limitations and impacts of covid affect you mentally and what were your emotions from having/not having a sports season?
I mean obviously it had a huge impact. I think a lot of student athletes find that sports are something that really stabilizes their mental health. So to have such a big change for something that’s been a big part of my life for the past couple of years is a big deal, and it was kind of upsetting. But at the same time I’m really grateful that we were able to have a season at all because I know a lot of sports couldn’t practice, couldn’t compete, couldn’t do anything. So even though it wasn’t what I would’ve liked to have for my senior Fall season. I’m still really grateful that we got to do it.
