SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse's Emily Carey has been named to Australia's 2014 World Rowing U23 Championships team, Rowing Australia has announced. The native of Brisbane will row in her home country's women's eight (W8+).
Carey was selected for the U23 World Championships team following Australia's United States-based selection camp. Carey and fellow Orange rowers Chelsea Frawley and Ailish Tinney attended the camp based in Princeton, New Jersey on June 11-15. She is one of four United States-based Australians selected for the W8+ crew, joining four Australian based rowers and coxswain.
The 2014 World Rowing U23 Championships will be held July 23-27 in Varese, Italy.
"We are very proud of Emily for making the U.S.-based Australian U23 group, Syracuse head coach Justin Moore said. "Emily is quite young, and she has stretched herself a good deal, transferring to Syracuse in January, navigating a new school, team and environment. She has handled all of those things tremendously well, including finishing her first semester with a 3.7 GPA. What is tremendously exciting about Emily making the squad this year is that she just turned 19. This summer will be a great experience for her. We, the coaching staff, expect that she is just touching the extent of her capabilities as an athlete. She will continue to go faster and faster."
Carey came to Syracuse in 2014 from the University of Queensland and made an immediate impact for the Orange. She rowed most of the season in the bow of SU's much-improved second varsity eight which recorded the team's top finish at the ACC Championship, taking second in the grand final.
A total of 24 U.S.-based Australian athletes competed for selection in 2014, highlighting the importance of Australian athletes based in the American college system. The program aims to retain and reengage talented Australian athletes on scholarships in the USA collegiate system, with the ultimate goal to reintegrate these rowers into the Australian rowing system, and hopefully the Senior A team, following their collegiate careers.
Chairman of Selectors and Rowing Australia Deputy Performance Director, Jaime Fernandez said, "These selections present an exciting opportunity for these athletes and the greater Australian Rowing Team, as Australian athletes from different parts of the world will combine to test their skills at the upcoming World Rowing U23 Championships."
"We are proud of how Emily, Chelsea and Ailish represent our program," Moore said. "One of the great aspects of coaching women's rowing is that I get to work with ambitious and talented women from throughout the world. The goals of our program not only include providing them with a world class education and an outstanding collegiate rowing experience, but we also want to support their athletic ambitions that extend beyond the collegiate sphere."
