2014

Isaac Mocarski (top right) embarked on a busy rowing career after MB, including being a member of the 2015 National Championship team, training in Australia, winning two state championships and qualifying for world championship competition. Isaac also placed 14th for the U.S. at the U23 world championships. He has since retired from competitive rowing, having won four national championships, two Head of the Charles regattas, competed at two world championships, and competed at the Henley Royal Regatta twice. “I made so many amazing friends from all over the world and was mentored by some of the most accomplished rowers in the world — none of whom I would’ve met without rowing — and I was set down this path all the way back in 2008 when Lisa Evans encouraged me to pursue rowing at the Narragansett Boat Club.” Isaac studied cultural and biological anthropology at Boston University. He now works as a graphic and apparel designer in Providence and plans to move to L.A. where he hopes to pick up his oars again.
