Interview with Varsity Coxswain Ken Marfilius


Ken giving technical advice during an indoor ergometer session.



1.
As a freshmen your crew finished 6th at EARC and 10th at IRA. Last year the varsity finished 8th at EARC and 8th at the IRA. Where do you feel the team can place this year? We have the ability to improve upon last year. It depends on how we respond to the winter training cycles and our ability to adapt to making changes on the water.

2. How do you see your role vary from being indoors as opposed to being in the coxswain seat? You learn a tremendous amount about how guys individually respond, both physically and mentally. The mental component during the winter months shows a lot about their character.

3. What is the best thing about being a student-athlete at Syracuse?
Syracuse Athletics, in general, is exciting and the atmosphere around campus is pretty special. Due to the success of other sports we have great facilities. To be in the company of great athletes past and present is a great tradition to be a part of.

4. What are your personal aspirations after college?
I'd like to continue rowing after college. Eventually, I'd like to become a coach. I'd also like to put my psychology major to good use and do something with counseling.
