USRowing Announces Paralympic Games Paris 2024 Roster


PRINCETON, N.J. – USRowing is pleased to announce the full roster that has been nominated to represent the United States at the Paralympic Games Paris 2024. 

The U.S. qualified two crews for the Paralympics including the PR3 mixed double sculls and PR3 mixed four with coxswain. 

All seven athletes who will be competing in Paris are first-time Paralympians and are all coming off silver-medal performances at the 2023 World Rowing Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. At the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, the U.S. won the silver medal in the PR3 mixed four with coxswain. 

The PR3 four with coxswain of Emelie Eldracher, Ben Washburne, Alex Flynn, Skylar Dahl, and Gemma Wollenschlaeger recently won a silver medal at the 2024 World Rowing Cup III in Poznan, Poland. All but Wollenschlaeger were part of the crew at the 2023 World Championships. The PR3 mixed double sculls crew of Saige Harper and Todd Vogt finished fourth in Poznan. Vogt won a silver medal in the event with Wollenschlaeger at last summer’s world championships, while Harper was part of the silver-medal four in Belgrade. 

The Paralympic Games Paris 2024 are scheduled to run August 28 to September 8, with Para rowing events beginning August 30.
