WEST WINDSOR, N.J. – Three former Stanford women’s rowers will be competing at the first USRowing National Selection Regatta this week on Lake Mercer.
Elle Logan ’11, Grace Luczak ’11 and Lindsay Meyer ’12 will all be in action over the course of the four days as there will be more than 140 athletes from 21 clubs across the country competing.
Meyer will be in the double sculls with Jamie Chapman as an entry from Vesper Boat Club. There are 17 crews entered in this event, the most of any at the regatta. She will race in the heats on Thursday with the semifinals on Friday and finals on Saturday.
Meyer is trying for her first World Championships since 2010 when she took 10th in the single sculls in Lake Karapiro, New Zealand. She was in the quad skulls event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, placing fifth for Team USA.
Logan and Luczak are both in the women’s pair event this week as part of 10 entries. Logan, a two-time Olympian gold medalist in 2008 and 2012, will team with Felice Mueller. Logan has competed in every World Championships and Olympics since 2008.
Luczak has partnered with Meghan Musnicki this week. Luczak is looking for her third straight trip to the World Championships. She has earned gold medals in each of the last two years with the women’s eight. She also earned gold at the U-23 World Championships the two years before that.
There will be time trials on Wednesday for the pairs with semifinals scheduled for Friday and the finals for Saturday.
