Rowing Australia Announces Team for 2024 Under 23 USA Selection Trials

Rowing Australia has unveiled the list of athletes selected to compete in the upcoming Under 23 USA Selection Trials. The trials, set to take place from June 16-20, will be hosted in Princeton and are a crucial step for rowers and coxswains aiming to represent Australia at the Under 23 World Rowing Championships held in Canada later this year.  

The list features athletes currently studying and training within the US College system as well as athletes from Australia who didn't attend the Under 23 Trials that were held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre back in March, but have now been invited to the USA Selections. These athletes will be trialling for seats in the both the Men’s and Women’s Coxed Eight events. The selected athletes will join their fellow Under 23 representatives in Canada to compete on the international stage.  

The trials will serve as a platform for these athletes to perform under international competition conditions. The outcome of the trials will also shape the future for Rowing Australia as they continue to foster talent for the next Olympic cycle and beyond.
