Congratulations to Ian McCloskey ‘26 on getting invited to the United States Under 19 National Team Selection Camp!
McCloskey is one of only 26 athletes from around the US headed to the camp, hosted by USRowing in Chula Vista, California from June 22-July 31.
Those at the camp at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center will compete for a spot on the team that will represent the United States at the World Rowing U19 Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria from Aug. 1-9.
Ian has been an integral member of the Boys team beginning with his freshman year where he helped drive the 2v8 to a medal at NY States and then raced in the boat at Youth Nationals. From there, McCloskey has continually driven the standard of the team with his incredibly high work ethic and desire to compete at the top level of the sport. He has set our 2k record at 6:06 and our 5k record at 16:19.7 (1:37.9 avg split). Having competed in our Varsity 8 since sophomore year, Ian has helped the boat achieve Top 15 finishes at both Youth Nationals and the Head of the Charles. Now as a senior, he will be making his 3rd appearance at Youth Nationals and will be aiming to help the Varsity 8 achieve an outstanding result. After graduation, Ian will be attending Brown University where he will be an athlete on the Men’s team.
Finally, Ian joins Abe Eligator ‘20, Lindsey Brail ‘22 and Moose Harrison ‘22 as PCRA athletes who have been chosen over the last few years to compete at Selection Camp.
GO PCRA!!
