Academy’s varsity girls crew includes sophomore Miko Cvilikas (seat 1), junior Taylor Minami (seat 2), sophomore Anne Holt (seat 3), sophomore Rilynn Milczarski (seat 4), junior Leilani Freitas (seat 5) and junior Joy Gora-Aina (seat 6). Minami reflects on her experience this season. “I’ve been paddling for three years at the Academy. I started because a friend reached out to me and encouraged me to join,” Minami said. “I feel honored and blessed to go to states with the girls who have been my biggest supporters this season, and to experience it together.” Minami said one of the team’s biggest challenges was staying focused and not letting their guard down, which could give other teams an opportunity to pull ahead. Another challenge came when the crew got in their own heads and lowered their expectations, affecting their performance. “But we locked in and showed up for one another,” Minami said. “We knew we wanted to go to states.”
