The U.S. Women’s 8+ claimed gold at the FISU World University Championships in Rotterdam on July 6th, the international championship for university students. The crew, in addition to the women’s single, spent three weeks training on Ford Lake under Eastern Michigan University coach Kemp Savage, along with the men’s four and single who were coached by University of Michigan club men’s coach Gregg Hartsuf.  The training camp operated in conjunction with the USRowing Selection Development Camp as part of the Pathways program.

The FISU World University Championships are held for 79 sponsored sports every other year, alternating with the combined World University Games on odd-numbered years. Head women’s coach Savage explains that this is an opportunity for developing collegiate rowers to take the next step in their athletic careers. “It’s a really great opportunity to find out if international racing is something you want to do and something you want to keep driving towards.” He continued, “These kind of camps are really open for people who might not quite be there yet to make the World Championship camps or Olympic camps, but need that experience and how to row a camp.”

The 2025 FISU World University Games will be held in the Rhine-Ruhr region of Germany, with the rowing races taking place at Regattabahn Duisburg.
