Colón on UMass: "I spoke with college coaches and visited several schools, but from the time I took my first call with a UMass coach I knew it was the right school for me. Every interaction I have had since then confirmed it for me. The academic community is truly inspiring--raising its ceiling every day students step in the classroom. The athletic community is strong and unshakable. The coaches are passionate and committed and the student-athletes are dedicated. I know that being part of the UMass rowing team means being all in, and that's what I was looking for. It felt right. The team's energy inspires me to do great things!"
