AMHERST, Mass. - Five UMass rowers competed in the USRowing Under 23 World Championship Trials this weekend on Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J. for a chance to represent the United States at the 2010 World Rowing U-23 Championships. The Minutewomen were represented by Emily Boucher, Alexandra DiMatteo, Megan Donovan, Elizabeth Euiler and Chelsea Wakeham. The U-23 World Championships will take place from July 22-25 in Brest, Belarus.
Boucher (Lee, N.H.), racing as part of the Durham Boat Club, took first in the lightweight single sculls by seven seconds with a time of 7:57.691 to earn a spot on Team USA. Boucher also took gold in the event during the USRowing Collegiate National Championships.
