Sixteen U.S. Boats Heading to Poznan for World Rowing Cup 2

The U.S. will have 16 boats heading to Poznan, Poland, June 16-19 for the second World Rowing Cup regatta of the season.

The event will feature more than 600 athletes from 36 nations. The U.S. will have two entries each in the men's and women's double sculls and pairs, with single entries in the men's and women's single sculls, lightweight single sculls, lightweight double sculls, and fours.

By virtue of winning their events at USRowing's National Selection Regattas earlier this year, seven crews have the opportunity to secure spots on the 2022 World Championships' roster in their respective events. These boats will need to finish in the top six in Poznan to earn the right to be named to the team. This list includes Ben Davison, men's single sculls; Kevin Cardno and Jonathan Kirkegaard, men's double sculls; Kara Kohler and Sophia Vitas, women's double sculls; Zachary Heese and Jasper Liu, lightweight men's double sculls; Michelle Sechser and Molly Reckford, lightweight women's double sculls; Justin Best and Michael Grady, men's pair; and Claire Collins and Madeleine Wanamaker, women's pair.

For the remaining crews, Poznan is an opportunity to test their speed against international competition prior to the start of selection camp and national team trials later this summer.

Racing begins with heats in the men's and women's singles and pairs on Thursday, June 16. The remaining heats will take place on Friday, June 17. Semifinals and finals in non-Olympic and non-Paralympic events will be featured on Saturday, June 18, with finals in Olympic and Paralympic boat classes taking place on Sunday, June 19. The draw for lane assignments will take place on Thursday, June 16.

Full event coverage will be available on USRowing.org and WorldRowing.com. A preliminary schedule can be found here. Streaming information will be available closer to the start of the event.
