10 Current, Former Bears Set To Compete Next Week
BERKELEY – The California men's rowing team will be well represented by four current and six former Golden Bears at the upcoming World Rowing Championships, which take place Sept. 3–10 in Belgrade, Serbia.
The event welcomes almost 1,000 athletes from 74 delegations, making up a field that is regarded as the strongest since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, as countries have the opportunity to qualify their boats for the 2024 Paris Olympics in several boat classes.
All races will be live streamed at www.worldrowing.com.
Fresh off a bronze medal for New Zealand at the 2023 World Rowing Cup III in Lucerne, Switzerland in the men's four, Ollie Maclean will compete in the straight four. Maclean was a member of Cal's V8+ that won its second straight IRA national championship this past season and was named an IRCA First-Team All-American and Pac-12 Rower of the Year for the second consecutive season.
Rowing for Australia in the men's eight will be Angus Dawson, who recently won gold in the men's eight and bronze in the men's pair at this year's World Rowing Cup III and World Rowing Cup II (Varese, Italy), respectively. He was also a member of the Bears' V8+ crew and earned IRCA First-Team All-American honors the last two seasons.
Dawson will be joined by former Bear Jack Robertson '21, who was also a member of Australia's gold-medal winning men's eight at the World Rowing Cup III and won the silver in the same event at the World Rowing Cup II.
Gennaro di Mauro will represent Italy in the men's eight and recently competed in the same event at this year's World Rowing Cup II. Di Mauro joined Dawson and Maclean on Cal's V8+ the last two seasons while earning consecutive IRCA First Team All-American honors.
Tim Roth will compete for Switzerland in the straight four and most recently competed in the single sculls at the 2023 World Rowing Cup II. Roth joined Dawson, di Mauro and Maclean on the Bears' V8+ the last two seasons and earned consecutive IRCA Second-Team All-American honors.
Jack Cleary '18 will represent Australia in the men's quad. Cleary recently represented his country this summer at the World Rowing Cup III in the men's double sculls and the World Rowing Cup II, where he finished fourth in the men's double sculls.
Martin Mackovic, another 2018 alumnus, is set to compete in the men's pair for Serbia. Mackovic competed in the men's pair at this year's World Rowing Cup III, where he finished fourth, and European Rowing Championships.
Rowing for Holland in the men's eight is Olav Molenaar '22. Molenaar is coming off a successful summer in which he finished with a silver medal in the men's four at the European Championships and a bronze medal in the men's eight at the World Rowing Cup III.
Joachim Sutton '19 will compete for Denmark in the men's four. Sutton is coming off a bronze medal finish in the men's pair at the 2023 World Rowing Cup I in Belgrade, Serbia and having competed in the men's pair at the 2023 European Championships.
Rounding out the contingent of Bears will be Niki Van Sprang '16, who will represent Holland in the straight four. He is coming off a fourth-place finish in the men's four at the recent World Rowing Cup III and a bronze medal finish in the men's eight at the European Rowing Championships.
