Fort Pierce proud. 

March 19, 2017 – Fort Pierce, FL – When Fort Pierce Central grads Bryanna and Alexis Sharot enrolled at University of Florida this past fall they were itching to be involved in a sport. They had been stellar student-athletes while at Central on both the swim team, where school records fell & regional championships were earned and on the girls weightlifting team.

Participating in athletics at one of Florida’s most difficult schools academically is a challenge for any student, especially incoming freshmen. The pressure to maintain good grades is often overwhelming, especially at a school like UF which has an international reputation for everything that happens on the historic campus.

But these two twins aren’t your typical students.

With mom, a trauma nurse and dad a successful small business owner having the drive to succeed runs deep in their veins.

Bryanna, who is on a pre-med track is an A/B student while Alexis who is a nursing major has a mind blowing 3.5 GPA and is being inducted into the Honor Society next weekend.

Both girls are coxswains on the UF row team. Coxswains sit at the stern (rear) of the boat and face the bow (front) of the boat. They steer the boat and are responsible for its overall navigation. This is the first year that they have rowed.

The team is considered a club sport this year, however, because of the success they have had, they are hopeful that the sport will earn a NCAA Division One slot in the near future. 

And that future D1 acceptance may come down to a National Competition on May 27 at the 1996 Olympic Site in Gainesville, GA on Lake Lanier where these Lady Gators hope to bring home a National Title.
