Rowing at UNC: Is in her first year on the varsity squad ... In the fall, raced as part of the novice four lineup that finished first at the 2007 Occoquan Chase

Before UNC: Attended Boone High School in Orlando ... Rowed four years for the Orlando Area Rowing Society ... Her brother taught her to skull when she was 11

More on Roblin: Born Kristi Jaclyn Roblin on Nov. 23, 1988, in Orlando ... Daughter of Skii and Colleen Roblin ... Has one brother, Mike (25) ... Favorite pastimes are boating on the lake and photography ... Dream job is to be a judge ... Favorite sport besides rowing is baseball ... Would spend a completely free day tubing on the lake ... If she could have dinner with anyone, she'd pick her paternal grandmother, "because I never got to meet her and apparently she was an amazing woman" ... A little-known talent she has is that she's an excellent stick shift driver ... Dream vacation is to sail a yacht around the world ... Before races, sleeps in her "uni" ... Fun fact is that she owns lots of ribbons

Roblin on rowing at UNC: "This sport calls for agility, grace, and strength. It is not a sport for the mentally unwilling. The art of rowing is the epitome of mind over matter. This is what Carolina rowing is about."
