May 16, 2016 | Women's Rowing
PRINCETON, N.J. – Oregon State rowers Alina Hagstrom and Paige Phillips were recently selected to participate in the U.S. Women's Under 23 National Team Selection Camp, to be held at Princeton University.
Hagstrom, a freshman from Seattle, Wash., earned a spot in the Varsity 8 in the fall and held it throughout the season. Phillips, a sophomore from Pittsburgh, Pa., has been a regular in the varsity boat in her first two seasons in the program.
“Both Alina and Paige are well-deserving of this invitation,” Oregon State head coach Emily Ford said. “It is a testament to their hard work and to the strength of the women on this team who push them every day.”
The camp will be coached by University of Pennsylvania's women's head coach Wesley Ng, who will be assisted by Hamilton University's women's coach Rob Weber. Ng and Weber will head up the selection of the women's eight, four and quadruple sculls that will compete at the World Rowing Under 23 Championships August 21-28 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The camp will also select a pair to compete at the Junior, Under 23 & Senior Non-Olympic Trials, July 18-22.
Invitations to selection camp were based on performance on the 2015-16 National Team Ergometer Testing Protocol, coach recommendations, past performance in international and domestic racing, competitive performance during training sessions and the athlete's ability to match the style and technique of the crew as determined by the designated coach. In the case of coxswains, invitations to selection camp were based on video and audio tapes of practice and race performances.
