Quincy Sweet ’27, a senior at Brophy, balances a demanding schedule of AP and Honors classes with his commitment to the school’s rowing team. After moving from Nebraska to Arizona before his freshman year, Sweet found a new home at Brophy while continuing to challenge himself both in the classroom and on the water.

He developed an early love for rowing a few years before high school because of his father’s shared passion for it. At the start of freshman year, Sweet moved from Nebraska to Arizona and didn’t have too hard a time adjusting because he joined the Brophy rowing team, which accepted him with open arms.

In Omaha, Sweet went to the same school that Brophy Principal Jim Bopp used to work at, which helped him make the decision to come to Brophy to start high school. 

Sweet looks forward to the upcoming rowing season. “We had a really strong group of guys last year, but unfortunately a lot of them graduated, so I think it will be a good opportunity for myself and the other upperclassmen to test them a little bit and see how we can lead a team”, said Sweet
