Biascoechea, a junior at Archbishop Murphy High School in Everett, and Stief, a junior at Mukilteo's Kamiak High School, will be among the 49 athletes competing for spots on the U.S. teams that will travel to the World Rowing Senior and Junior Championships, July 22-27 in Linz/Ottensheim, Austria. Six athletes at the selection camp, including Cara Linnenkohl of Redmond and Seattle's Lake Union Crew, were members of the U.S. team that won the bronze medal at the world junior championships last year. Biascoechea and Stief, both 17, are members of the Everett Rowing Association's junior women's varsity eight team, which placed fifth at last year's U.S. junior national championships. Biascoechea attended the Junior Women's National Team Selection Camp in 2007 where she was chosen to be a member of the U.S. Junior High Performance Rowing Team. As part of that team she trained and participated in regattas in a number of locations in the northeast U.S., including the Olympic Training Center at Lake Placid. In addition, the team went to Berlin and trained with the German Junior National Team. Biascoechea, who has been rowing since 2005, lives in Everett.
