Abby Malek just finished her junior year at Bucknell University. Abby is an applied mathematical sciences major and is also a college rower for Bucknell. Big sports like football and basketball often get all the glory for their hard work and dedication. Other sports put in a similar effort but do not have the same support. Today, Abby Malek shared with us what her day in the life is like as a rower at Bucknell University!
