Tulsa's Bruce Howard sat down with former Tulsa rower Michelle Sechser (2004-08) to get her thoughts on competing in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Sechser will not only compete in the 2021 Olympics in Japan, she will compete against another former TU rower, Jennifer Casson (2013-17), in the Lightweight 2x. Sechser will represent the United States, while Casson will represent Canada in a field of 18 crews.
Sechser has been competing professionally since 2009, racing in dozens of world championship races, including a top finish in the Lightweight Double Sculls at the 2021 World Rowing Final Olympic Qualification Regatta to qualify for the Olympics.
