USRowing Announces 2026 World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals Lineups

USRowing is pleased to announce the 18 athletes who will represent the United States at the 2026 World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals, October 18–21 in Qingdao, China. The U.S. will compete in four senior events, five U19 events, and one inclusion event.

The United States returns after earning two gold medals and one silver at the 2025 World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals, winning world titles in the men’s solo and mixed coxed quadruple sculls, along with silver in the mixed double sculls.

Several of those medalists return in new combinations this year. Four-time world champion Chris Bak returns in the men’s solo and will join reigning world champions Malachi Anderson, Audrianna Boersen, Coral Kasden, and first-time national team member Charlotte Wiley in the mixed coxed quadruple sculls. World champion Kory Rogers and 2025 silver medalist Sera Busse will team up in the mixed double sculls, while five-time Beach Sprint National Team member Christine Cavallo returns to the women’s solo.

The roster also includes a developing U19 contingent and returning national team athletes Justin Stevens and Annabelle Miller, who will race in the inclusion mixed double sculls.
