Williams Grad Qualifies for U23 World Rowing ChampionshipsBy Dick Quinn

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Katherine Robinson, who graduated from Williams College this spring, will be one of the 600 rowers from 50 nations competing at the U23 Rowing World Championships in Racice, Czech Republic, from July 23 to 26.
On Thursday morning, July 8, Robinson and three teammates representing the GMS Rowing Center, earned the right to represent the United States at the U23 World Championships with an uncontested victory in the quad boat final in West Windsor, N.J.
Robinson's quad boat will compete in the lightweight classification. She is the only rower in the quad who is not a Division I rower as she has two teammates from University of Virginia (Division I runner-up) and one from Oregon State.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Robinson's boat was unchallenged in the U.S. Eph women's head crew coach Justin Moore points out that Robinson and her boat have performed very well in doubles and quads already.
"They've done a very nice job," said Moore. "They've put up some fast times in doubles and quads and they look to be medal contenders in Europe."
Robinson and her lightweight boat recorded a winning time of 7:23.535 on Thursday, while the winning time in the quad final was 7:34.285.
Robinson attracted national attention with the continued success of the Eph boats at the NCAA Division III Rowing Championships, winning a record four consecutive NCAA titles, and when she captured the U23 Lightweight ergometer title this past winter, a result that put her fifth overall among all lightweight women.
Robinson, who was senior captain of the Eph women's team, hails from Marysville, Wash. Over the course of her four years in the Purple Valley, she rowed in the novice 8-plus, the 2V8-plus, both sides in the varsity boat and stroked the 1V8 this season that went undefeated. She earned First Team All-America honors this season.
She is rowing in seat 3 for the GMS Rowing Center quad boat.
The GMS Rowing Center will compete in the World Trials at either 4:24 p.m. (Czech time) or 4:30 p.m. on July 23 to determine if they advance to semifinals and then, hopefully, the finals. |
