The 2003 USRowing Junior Men's National Team Selection Camp began Wednesday in Boston, Mass., with nine coxswains and 70 rowers.
The 79 athletes will be vying for spots on the 2003 USRowing Men's Junior National Team, which will travel to Schinias, Greece, to compete at the Junior 2003 FISA World Rowing Championships August 5-9. The world championships will be a follow-up to the 2003 USRowing National Championships held July 22-27 in Camden, N.J.
Six athletes return from last year's junior national team including Chris Johnson from the bronze medal-winning eight, as well as the entire men's four - Matt King, Will Lippit, Greg McKallagat and Justin Stangel, which placed ninth. Matt Morrow, who raced in the double sculls, rounds out the returnees.
Head coach Evans Liolin will again preside over the program, teaming up with assistant coaches Colin Campbell and Bill Manning. The camp is being hosted by Boston University and will go until June 29.
