PRINCETON, N.J. – Despite having the season cut short, USRowing recognized the list of student-athletes who were selected to participate in the 2020 Under 23 Men's National Team Selection Camps this summer.
The top under 23 athletes were scheduled to vie for spots on the Under 23 National Team that would have competed at the 2020 World Rowing Under 23 Championships this August in Bled, Slovenia.
Oliver Bub,
Caleb Edmundson and
Jacob Hudgins from the Dartmouth heavyweight rowing team were invited, while
Christopher Duan and
Sean Ward from the lightweight team earned an invitation.
"While understandably the pandemic has put a halt to the 2020 international racing schedule, USRowing wants to recognize those athletes who have earned invitations to our 2020 Under 23 National Team selection camps," said Matt Imes, USRowing High Performance Director. "While these athletes won't get the opportunity to represent the U.S. this summer, they make up an incredibly important part of our national team development program. We congratulate each of them on being selected for the camps and look forward to many of them representing Team USA in the future."
Spearheaded by Harvard University men's assistant coach Jesse Foglia, the open men's U23 camp was scheduled to take place in Boston, while Craig Hoffman, executive director of Conshohocken Rowing Center, was scheduled to run the U23 lightweight men's camp from Conshohocken, Pa.
