More UW Rowers Move On At Under-23 Worlds
August 22, 2016 | Men's Rowing
Eight more Husky rowers advance in Monday repechages.
The results were mainly positive for the future, current and former Washington rowers competing Monday at the World Rowing Under-23 Championships in Rotterdam as another eight Huskies helped their boats into A/B semifinals or A finals later this week.
Day two of the regatta featured repechage racing for all those who didn't qualify directly for the next round in their respective events during Sunday's races.
The U.S. men's coxed four (pictured), manned entirely by UW rowers, took second in its repechage to earn a spot in the A final. The four (Rielly Milne, Sam Pettet, Arne Landboe, Ezra Carlson and Sean Kelly), crossed the finish line in 6:17.150, about a second and a half behind New Zealand and just under a second in front of third-place Germany. The U.S. boat needed a top-two finish to move on to Thursday's A final.
Washington's Anna Thornton and the Great Britain women's eight earned a victory in its repechage, rowing across the finish line ahead of New Zealand, Australia and Germany. Those four boats (of the six in the rep) will next row in the A final on Thursday.
In the men's four, Luca Lovisolo and Italy narrowly earned a trip the A/B semifinal with a third-place finish, edging fourth-place Serbia by four-tenths of a second to grab the last berth.
In the women's quad sculls repechage, Husky Chiara Ondoli and Italy picked up a win and a berth in the A final while the U.S. boat, with Marlee Blue rowing in the stroke seat, finished fifth and will row in the B final on Wednesday.
In the lightweight men's double sculls, Husky Samuel O'Brien and U.S. teammate Nicholas Montalvo finished third in their repechage. Needing a top-two finish to reach the A/B semifinal, they'll instead row in the C/D semi on Wednesday.
Also Tuesday, former UW rower Fiona Gammond and her Great Britain women's four won its opening heat at the Senior World Championships. The Brits notched a two-second victory over Germany in heat two and will now have until Saturday to prepare for the A final.
In Sunday's first day of U-23 competition, a number of other UW rowers placed highly enough to avoid repechages and move on to semifinals or finals. Sarah Dougherty '16 rowed in both the coxless four and the eight for the U.S. and helped her crews to the Thursday A finals with heat wins in both. Also qualifying directly for the A final in the eight was incoming UW freshman Annamieke Schanze and her German crew.
In the crowded men's single sculls competition, Husky Ben Davison finished second in a Sunday heat to earn a trip to the quarterfinals, while Serbian Viktor Pivac qualified directly for the A final in the men's pair.
In men's eight competition, Michiel Mantel (Netherlands) and Guglielmo Carcano (Italy) moved on to A/B semifinal races based on their results Sunday.
