Last season, he rowed in the varsity eight, which went 5-1 in dual races and defeated Yale in the Harvard-Yale Regatta, the crown jewel of the crew season and the oldest intercollegiate competition in America. Despite Schreck’s success with rowing, he exudes an obvious appreciation for the rest of the team. “The team atmosphere is really what keeps you in it. It’s a bond that?...

The protagonist is the wildly self-confident Monkey, who irritates his peers with...
