Though she was always interested in books, her love began with the stories her mother read to her on road trips.

“We used to go on really long car trips with my family,” Fitzhenry said. “So my mom read the Harry Potter books aloud to [me and my siblings], and eventually we took over reading them ourselves.”

When she does not have an oar in her hand, the senior can usually be found with a book. The English concentrator’s favorite novels include Emma by Jane Austen and Assault on Lake Casitas by Brad Alan Lewis.

This year will most likely mark the end of Fitzhenry’s crew career. While her teammates will celebrate the legacy she will leave, they also currently admire her for her passions out of the water.

 “Lizzy is one of my role models,” Wagner said. “The thought of letting Lizzy down is worse than letting myself down. She pushes me in the best way possible.”

“She is an amazing friend,” added Wagner, who will be lining up against Fitzhenry this weekend on the Charles. “I know she will be my best friend for the rest of my life. She’s actually the best, even if she does go to Harvard.”
