PALATINE HILL - Gavin Slusher has come all the way from Dairy Field High School in New Hampshire to join the men’s crew team. This coming weekend will be their first official competition and Gavin is sure to make a big impact. He has been rowing for four-years and enjoys it because it mixes running and bicycling.

Gavin was also considering Whitman, U of H, and the Naval and Air Force Academies but decided on L&C based on its ideal location close to a city, the beach, and the mountains. Like many freshman he is undecided on his major and still thinking about his future ambitions.
