GLENN ON HUTCHESON:

"Sarah provides stability and consistency to her crew and her team in general. She understands how to push herself and makes an effort to understand what is expected. This year, Sarah is continuing to improve as a student and an athlete. As a senior, Sarah needs to be a dominant force, and these improvements indicate to me that she could really fulfill that need!"
