INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - USRowing has announced the 35 athletes who have made the 2003 Men and Women's Junior National Teams. The U.S. will have five men's crews, and four women's crews racing at the 2003 FISA Junior World Championships August 5-9 in Schinias, Greece. Crews competing at the regatta include the junior men's single sculls, junior women's single sculls, junior men's double sculls, junior women's double sculls, junior women's pair, junior men's four with coxswain, junior men's four, junior men's eight and junior women's eight.
The pairs, four, four with coxswain and eights were selected by the junior national team coaching staff at the men and women's selection camps. The singles and doubles earned their right to compete at the junior world championships by winning the 2003 Junior National Team Selection Trials. The men's trials were held on Lake Carnegie in Princeton, N.J., while the women's trials were held on the Otay Reservoir in Chula Vista, Calif.
Of the 14 women, four are returning team members. Kate Davison, Kate Gorman and Rachel Jeffers were all members of the bronze medal eight, while Carly York was a spare. All four will be competing in the eight this year.
In addition to the bronze medal in the junior women's eight, the U.S. placed fifth in the women's pair, eighth in the women's four, 16th in the women's single, and 17th in the women's double at the 2002 Junior World Championships.
There are seven men returning from last year's junior national team. Chris Johnson returns to the eight after winning a bronze medal in the event last year. Justin Stangel and Will Lippitt, who competed in the four last year, will join Johnson in the eight. Greg McKallagat and Matt Morrow will compete in the four, while Matt King will row in the four with coxswain.
Along with the bronze medal in the junior men's eight, the men placed seventh in the men's four with coxswain, ninth in the men's four, 21st in the men's single, and 23rd in the men's double.
