Name: Anthony Bertucci
Hometown: Wexford, Pennsylvania
High School: North Allegheny Senior High School
Sport: Rowing
Positions: Third-seat in four-man rowing and bow seat in two-man rowing
How He Started Rowing: “I’ve been rowing for five years now. I started in my eighth grade year after my mother bought me the Boys in the Boat book based on the University of Washington team that went on to compete and win gold in the 1936 Summer Olympics against immense odds.”
Commitment: To row at the University of San Diego (USD). The University of San Diego is a private, Catholic university located in San Diego, California and is home to over 9,000 students. The Toreros of USD are members of NCAA Division I and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) in men’s rowing.
Why He Chose USD: “I originally reached out to USD late in my junior year. I liked the idea of going across the country for my undergraduate years so I can travel a little bit more before graduate school. At first it was just wishful thinking, but after I met the coaches and eventually made it out to the campus, I did everything I could to make it out there.”
Intended Major and Future Plans: Biochemistry major on a Pre-Medicine track to eventually go to medical school.
Favorite Rowing Memory: “My favorite rowing memory was the trip to nationals in my junior year with our small group.”
What Others Should Know About Rowing: “The bond between boatmates is unreal. The feeling of pushing yourself to your limit and knowing that the guys in front of and behind you are doing the same creates a phenomenal atmosphere.”
