July 25, 2016 | Heavyweight Rowing, Women's Rowing - Open, Women's Rowing - Lightweight
Six Princetonians, including one outgoing captain and one incoming standout, will represent either the USA or Canada at the U-23 World Rowing Championships, which will be held Aug. 21-28 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Nick Mead, Trey Francis, Emily Kallfelz and Emma Hopkins will represent Princeton as members of Team USA during the last week of August, while Martin Barakso and Daniel de Groot will row in a four together for Team Canada.
Four Tiger heavyweights, including three who helped Princeton medal at both the 2016 Eastern Sprints and IRA National Championships, will be part of the U-23 World Championships. Both Nick Mead and Trey Francis will return to the Tiger heavyweights next season, and they will be part of the M8+ for Team USA. Barakso, who served as the 2016 team captain, will join deGroot, who raced in the Princeton 2V this season, as members of the Canadian M4-. DeGroot has plenty of experience with medals; he won a silver for Canada in the singles at the 2014 Junior World Championships, and then he won silver with the Princeton 2V at both Sprints and IRAs.
Kallfelz was one of two freshmen who rowed in the Ivy League champion Princeton open varsity eight, and she had the opportunity to experience the NCAA championship final in her freshman year. She will now return to international competition with a very familiar face behind her; Kallfelz will join younger sister Eliza to row in the women's double sculls at the U-23 World Championships. Emily Kallfelz is looking for medals in back-to-back championships; she won bronze in the quad at the 2015 World Rowing Junior Championships.
Hopkins will be joining the Princeton women's lightweights this fall, but she will first seek gold as a member of the women's lightweight double at the U-23 Worlds. Hopkins won the lightweight women's double sculls at the 2016 Junior, Under 23 and Senior Team Trials, and she placed sixth in the youth 8+ at 2015 Head of the Charles Regatta.
