It was so fortunate that Trojan Candy was able to take pictures at the 2019 "A Day in Troy" that occurred before the Women of Troy basketball game vs. Utah (3/3/2019). It was there that I was able to take pictures of USC athletes signing autographs for the kids. The USC sports that were represented were Track and Field, Soccer, Rowing and Golf.
Trojan Candy was able to meet and take pictures of four 2020 Rowing Seniors when they were Juniors.
Senior Rower Lauren Blonien at far left smiled for this picture. Congratulations and FIGHT ON, Lauren!
My second picture was of three 2020 Rowing Seniors. Lena Schroder, Katarzyna Pilch and Astrid Steensberg smiled and posed for me. Congratulations and FIGHT ON, Lena, Katarzyna and Astrid!
