Outlaw, a two-time national team member and 2019 bronze medalist in the PR3 mixed double, and Vogt, a 2019 National Team member, won the event at the 2022 USRowing National Selection Regatta/Speed Order 1 in Sarasota in March.

With the event recently being elevated to the Paralympic program for 2024, this weekend is a chance for the duo to get four races down the course and test their speed ahead of this summer's national team trials and ultimately the 2022 World Rowing Championships in September.

National team trials in the event will be held as part of the USRowing Summer National Championships July 6-9 on Lake Mercer in West Windsor, N.J. The 2022 World Rowing Championships are scheduled for September 18-25 in Racice, Czech Republic.
