EMMA LLOYD is High Point’s Rower of the Month for March.
A freshman student at Bishop McGuinness High School in Kernersville, Emma joined the High Point Rowing Club last fall. In only her first season of rowing she was selected to lead the varsity crew as the Stroke. The stroke of the crew is similar to a quarterback in football, setting the rhythm for the crew and timing of race strategies.
In rowing, setting a strong rhythm for the crew is vital and Lloyd draws on her experience from Irish dance with the Walsh Kelley School. Lloyd is one of the top 50 Irish dancers in the southeast United States.
In November, Lloyd led High Point’s varsity crew at the Head of the Hooch Regatta in Chattanooga, TN. The Tennessee boat race featured thousands of competitors and is the second largest rowing race in the nation.
In addition to rowing and dance, Lloyd swims for Bishop McGuinness HS and Bur-Mil in Greensboro.
