Results
POZNAN, POLAND – Fred Vystavel '16 placed sixth in the 2- pair for Denmark this weekend at the 2020 European Rowing Championships.
Romania's Marius-Vasile Cozmiuic and Ciprian Tudosa took the gold (6:26.52) followed by Croatia and Italy on the medal podium. Vystavel and his partner Joachim Sutton crossed the finish line with a time of 6:40.87
"This was a great step forward for Fred and his teammate in their newly formed pair combination," said Princeton head coach Greg Hughes. "We look forward to seeing him race to qualify for the Olympics in the spring. Currently we have Princeton rowers training and competing for seats on the United States, Australian, Great Britain, and Danish Olympic teams. It is always exciting to see Princeton rowers compete at the highest level internationally."
Greta Jaanson '23 (Open Rowing) was a spare for Estonia as was David van Velden (Men's Lightweights) for the Netherlands in this event.
It's been a banner fall for the heavyweight squad on the international water as Floyd Benedikter earned gold for Germany in the 8+ final at the U-23 European Rowing Championships.
