USRowing Story
PRINCETON, N.J. – For the second straight year, Emily Kallfelz '19 has been selected as the USRowing Under 23 Female Athlete of the Year, the organization announced.
"It's crazy. I feel honored," said Kallfelz to USRowing. "It's quite a competitive group of athletes, so I'm honored that people think I'm worthy of that for another year. It's exciting. It hasn't really set in. There are tons of very qualified and experienced athletes out there, so it's nice to be chosen from that group."
What a well-deserved and incredible honor for Emily," said Princeton head coach Lori Dauphiny. "She not only had a major impact on our team, but on the national team as well. She has been on six national teams and has won three consecutive medals for the United States in the U23 1x which is an impressive feat! She led this team by example, and we couldn't be prouder of her successes and recognition.
It has been an incredible 2019 season for Kallfelz. She picked up first-team All-American honors, All-Ivy accolades, C. Otto von Kienbusch finalist and of course … her fourth straight Ivy title.
