Interview with Members of the Class of 1991 Women's Crew Team: Kim Stone, Ashley Lodato, Kim Akers, and Emily Dirksen : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Kimberly Walsh Stone (AB American History, 1991; JD, 1996), Ashley Lodato (AB English and Italian Literature, 1991), Kim Akers (AB Economics, 1991), and Emily Dirksen (BS Biology and Economics, 1991) talk about their experience on the Stanford Women’s Crew Team in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They discuss how they joined the Stanford freshman crew team despite their lack of previous rowing experience and share fond memories of their accomplishments as a team and the camaraderie and sense of “athlete pride” they shared. They go on to discuss Emily’s post-Stanford rowing career, which involved both coaching at Stanford and competing at the national and international level, eventually winning the World Rowing Championship in 1996. The interview closes with the women remarking on the strong and lasting friendship that they formed as a result of their participation in athletics and how their time on the crew team shaped their lives, imbuing them with more discipline and perseverance than they believe they would have had otherwise.
