Caroline Lind '06 Selected To National Rowing Hall of Fame
October 09, 2023 | Women's Rowing - Open
PRINCETON – Princeton Women's Open Rowing's Caroline Lind '06 has been selected to the National Rowing Hall of Fame by the National Rowing Foundation.
The Hall of Fame ceremony will take place at the National Rowing Foundation reunion tent at the Head of Charles Regatta on Oct. 21.
Lind '06 is one of only five Princeton athletes to win two gold medals at the Olympics, joining a distinct list of Karl T. Frederick '03 (shooting), Herman Whilton '26 (sailing), Nelson Diebel '87 (swimming) and Ashleigh Johnson '17 (water polo).
The 2006 C. Otto von Kienbusch winner helped the United States' 8+ earn the gold at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics along with earning golds at six World Rowing Championships (2006-2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2014).
Lind '06 was also on Princeton's Varsity Eight in 2006 that won the NCAA National Championship. That boat featured Andreanne Morin '06 (already an Olympian), Lind (future Olympian), Gevvie Stone '07 (future Olympian) and Katie Bertko '06 (future Olympian). It's widely considered one of the greatest NCAA boats of all-time after winning every race in dominating fashion with its closest race being a 6.41-second victory in the NCAA Grand Final.
