LSU ROWING - Key Persons


Adison Gibson

Adison is a sophomore majoring in psychology, pre-med. She has rowed for 6 years and is excited to continue this streak at LSU. She loves going on walks and dancing like no one is watching, when no one is watching. If you're trying to find her at a regatta, she is probably the one staring avidly at the boats racing down the course.

Colin Herke

Colin is a junior majoring in civil engineering. He owns a bike worth more than his car and treats it as such. When he graduates, he plans to win the lottery and go expedition cycling across the world. Until then, he will be haunting the ergs and yelling "WATTS" at anyone 5k testing.

Emma DeMario

Job Titles:
  • Secretary
Emma is a sophomore majoring in architecture from Carroll County, Maryland. She spends her time running around barefoot at regattas and trying to convince other rowers in her boat to jump in the water with her. The only thing she likes staring at more than strangers is the sunrise off the LSU dock during morning practice!

  • Membership and Publicity Coordinator
McKenley is a sophomore majoring in Theatre Technology from Long Beach, MS. You can always find her reading a book, posting on the LSU Rowing social media, or on the water. Although she is currently serving the team as a coxswain, she is handy with the blade and will jump in at a moment's notice.
