USRowing Announces 2024 World Rowing Under 19 Championships Roster

USRowing is pleased to announce the camp-selected roster of the 2024 Under 19 National Team that will represent the U.S. in St. Catharines, Canada on August 18-25. They’ll join the previously-announced, trials-selected boats announced in early July.

The U.S. will have crews competing in nine events including the men's and women’s quadruple sculls, four with coxswain, and eight, as well as the men's single sculls, double sculls, and pair. The U.S. will not be sending boats in the men’s and women’s four or the women's single sculls, double sculls, or pair. 

At the 2023 World Rowing Under 19 Championships held in Paris, France, the U.S. won one gold medal in the women’s four with coxswain.  

The U19 roster includes athletes from 18 states and two athletes from the District of Columbia. California leads the way with 12 athletes.
