About Kyle Howe

Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?

Redwood Scullers in California, USA - Monica Hilcu.

What inspires you about sport?

The pursuit of excellence - pushing yourself to the limit around others that are doing the same.

Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race

My earliest memory of The Boat Race was during undergrad at Cornell, listening to some of our alumni talk about competing in the race. I knew I wanted to be like them, and pursue the same challenge.

Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?

I live for the race days, there is no better feeling and no greater honor than competing with the best athletes in our sport.

What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?

There's no real secret - it's a privilege. Being a part of an elite rowing program at a world-class university has taught me to be disciplined with my time, and to make the most out of every opportunity here.
