The California Golden Bears women’s rowing team will have a strong presence at the U23 World Rowing Championships that take place Aug. 18-25 in St. Catharines, Canada, as 10 current and incoming Bears representing five countries are set to compete. This mark’s the largest known group of Cal women’s rowers to compete at the event.
Australia’s women’s eight will include Star-Rose Miller and Sophie Ward, who are both making their first appearance at the U23 championships.
Antonia Galland is making a return to the U23 championships as a member of Germany’s women’s eight. Galland won silver in the women’s eight at the 2023 U23 championships and previously competed at 2023 World Rowing Championships in the women’s eight.
For Great Britain, Julia Hunt-Davis will compete in the women’s eight and incoming freshman Lily Abbott will be in the women’s quadruple sculls marking their first appearance at the U23.
Giulia Bosio will row in the women’s quadruple sculls for Italy. Bosio previously competed in the same event at the 2022 U23 championships, where she came in fifth place, and at the 2021 World Rowing Junior Championships, where she took home a silver.
Competing for the Netherlands will be Minou Bouman in the women’s four and Tabo Stekelenburg and Lotta van Westreenen in the women’s pair. Bouman previously rowed at the 2023 U23 championships in the women’s eight, finishing in fifth place. Stekelenburg’s last appearance at the U23 championships came in 2021, when she rowed in the women’s four. Van Westreenen was also with Bouman in the women’s eight at the 2023 U23 championships.
Incoming freshman Olivia Roth rounds out the group and will compete in the women’s double sculls for Switzerland. Roth rowed in the previous two U23 championships, taking bronze in the women’s double sculls in 2023 and seventh in the women’s pair in 2022.
