Guenther is a two-time captain of the men's rowing team. The biochemistry major from Durham, CT has piled up quite the resume throughout his tenure as a Red Fox.

In addition, Guenther also completed Marist's emerging leaders program, and was an analytical chemistry teacher's assistant. Guenther also attended the Black Student-Athlete Summit back in January.
