2017-18 Team Captains
Our team captains are elected by their teammates. It is an honor to be recognized by your peers and a privilege to serve your team.
Nicolette McPharlin
Nicolette is a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas High School and lives in Fort Lauderdale. She is a founding member of our team having joined in the fall of 2015 as a sophomore. She earned a bronze medal at States last year in the JV 4+ – our first time at States. Prior to Rowing, she was a soccer player but ran into knee problems forcing her to search for a sport which is less stressful on your body. Lucky for us, she tried Rowing and has been a dedicated member ever since. She always has a smile on her face and great ideas for our team!
Rebekah Pereira
Rebekah is also a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas High School and lives in Fort Lauderdale. She too is a founding member of our team, attending our very first practice in 2015 when she was a sophomore. She earned a bronze medal at our first States last year in the Junior 4+ and received our Team Spirit Award in 2015/17. Prior to Rowing, she was a soccer player but was having too many concussions. She is very competitive so she still wanted to be on a sport. Fortunately, she gave Rowing a shot and has been a valuable member of our team ever since. She is a lot of fun and brings much positive energy to our team!
