With the Pan American games just around the corner and national team selections underway for several sports, it’s no surprise that current Buckeyes are competing on the rosters of teams from around the world.
Five rowers competed in the 2019 World Rowing U23 Championships in Sarasota, Florida last week, with every one making it to the finals for their respective boats and countries. Jessy Vermeer, rowing for the Netherlands, finished in fifth place in the finals for the women’s pair, while Lexie Nothdurft and her native Australia finished third in the coxed four. Rounding out the Buckeyes, Maddie Perrett and Sierra Tiede finished third for the USA in the women’s eight final, and Leonie Heuer’s German squad placed fifth in the same competition.
