Community Roundup: Stief named to U.S. junior rowing team
Shannon Stief, a senior-to-be at Mukilteo's Kamiak High School, has been named to the United States junior national team for the 2008 World Rowing Senior and Junior Championships, July 22-27 in Linz/Ottensheim, Austria.
Stief earned her place at the junior women's pair world championship trials last week at Lake Mercer in West Windsor, N.J. She will be competing at the world championships with Mary Maginnis of Maple Glen, Pa. Both are first-time junior national team members.
During the school year, Stief trains with the Everett Rowing Association on the Snohomish River in Everett. This is the seventh straight year the Everett Rowing Association has sent a junior woman to a summer international rowing event.
"This is setting her up for being looked at by different colleges," said Pasha Spencer, the Everett Rowing Association's new director. "She is going to be sought after after having this experience."
Junior national team trials were held June 24-26 for the men's single sculls, women's single sculls, men's pair, men's double sculls, women's double sculls and men's quadruple sculls. The remaining crews will be announced next week.
