Mary Whipple has an important piece of advice for high school students when they get into college.
“Plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize,” she said.
Not in the classroom, that is, but on the water. Whipple, a gold medal Olympian in rowing, was talking about the keys to becoming a top-notch coxswain to about 20 local high school rowers.
One way to do so, she said, is listen to the coach.
“Start to learn what your coach is saying, then use their words,” she said.
