At Syracuse, she rowed in the fourth seat in the varsity eight that finished second at the 2022 ACC Championship and in the fourth seat of the 17th place varsity eight at the 2022 NCAA Championship. She was the five-seat for the eighth-place varsity eight at the 2022 Head of the Charles in October. A communications and rhetorical studies major, Frederico earned 2022-23 ACC Honor Roll recognition and was a member of the Athletic Director's Honor Roll.
Â
Gathmann, who hails from Grenzach-Wyhlen, Germany, was the three-seat in the 2022 varsity eight that finished second at the ACC Championship and 17th overall at the NCAA Championships. Gathmann rowed in the bow of the varsity four that finished 11th at the 2021 NCAA Championship. The human development and family science major is a two-time All-ACC Academic Team selection, a two-time Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar-Athlete and a three-time member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll.
