Frosh Rowers Selected for USRowing Camp - Oregon State University Athletics

Oregon State freshmen rowers Kalena Bell and Karen Beaty were recently selected to participate in the USRowing National Team Freshman Camp.

The camp has been developed for athletes with no more than two years of rowing experience. The main objectives of the camp is to expose the novice athletes to the National Team and its training, rowing in all boat categories (1x to 8+), learn some technical and physiological basics, and to train with athletes of similar ability.

Bell (Alameda, Calif./Glencoe HS) and Beaty (Tigard, Ore./Tigard HS) will also be exposed to more experienced athletes who have competed on the Junior National team.

This camp selected young athletes that have physiological potential and the desire to learn more about the National Team. Bell and Beaty were selected based on their success during the racing season, ergometer scores (demonstrated physiological talent) and coach recommendation.

The seven day camp will be held June 18-24 at the University of Wisconsin.
