Next for Senior Spotlights we have, Elliot Thorstenson 🚣🏻‍♀️🎓

Fueled by fruit snacks and chocolate fairlife protein shakes, Elliot has been a dedicated teammate and athlete at ERC during his time here.

From racing at Windermere cup, to lining up alongside in the 8+ to throwdown some sprint work at practice. ERC has not only left an impact on him as an athlete, but he has left one both on and off the water.

If you could thank the team for one thing what would it be?:
“For making practices something I looked forward to.”

Advice for future rowers and younger athletes?:
“Hopefully, they remember how to stay committed through the tough days. Still finding ways to compete and enjoying the process together as a team.”

Teammate you look up to the most?:
“Henley, because I wish I could be as good a dog as him.”

After graduation, Elliot plans to attend Lane Community College and pursue a degree in paramedicine.

Thank you Elliot for your dedication and commitment, along with everything else you’ve brought to the team. We can’t wait to see what‘s next for you!
