Welcome everyone to another episode featuring Maritime Rowing Club's Hall of Fame athlete, Mr. Will Legenzowski, of USRowing & Brown Men's Crew '23. Will, also known to his peers as "Leggo" continues to inspire a fleet of athletes dreaming about getting to the highest level in rowing, and just know that this podcast won't be the last time you will hear from Will... we have some things cookin'!! Legenzowski, hails from "The Big Apple" where he attended New Canaan High School while rowing for their crew team, but decided it was time to travel to Connecticut to compete with Maritime Rowing Club. After tearing his ACL in high school, Will and his family felt it was best to try a high intensity but low impact sport, so rowing was just a no-brainer. The Legenzowski family are up there with top-tier elite athletes with Will's two sisters, Carly, a coxswain for the University of Texas, and Brooke, a rower for Stanford Lightweight Women.Will is a two-time National & Northeast Regional Champion in the Men's Youth Quad. He holds a 1st Place finish and current course record-holder for the Under 19 Men's Single Sculls at Canadian Henley (2017) and Head of the Charles in the Men's Youth Coxed Quad. Nonetheless, Legenzowski and his team traveled across the country to compete at the San Diego Crew Classic, winning their event in the Men's Youth Quad as well. To close out his high school campaign, Will was a runner-up for the 2018 USRowing Under-19 Athlete of the Year, which used to be called "USRowing Fan's Choice Junior Athlete of the Year Award". Legenzowski committed to row D1 Crew for the Bruno, where he acclaimed the title of "IRCA First Team All-American Rower", "Second Team All Ivy League", and dabbles with the Brown Women's Gymnastics team as their Team Manager and Lead Actor in a feature film! Leggo got 8th in the Men’s 1x at 2021 USA U23 World Championships, and 2nd in the Men’s 8+ at 2022 USA U23 World Championships, along with high finishes at Head of the Charles and Eastern Sprints in the Varsity 8+. Taking a gap semester off of school to compete for the Green Racing Project, Will was and remains to be as committed to rowing as the boat is to water, the two just work hand in hand. So many different topics were discussed and covered, so be sure to tune into this exceptional "Bucket of Bliss" and see how this avid rower continues to make waves in this sport and life as well!Xeno Müller - Elite Rowing CoachMake your rowing dreams real!
