“I was happy to see training partners Will Daly and Austin Meyer finish in the top five,” Campbell said. “It was nice for Will, Austin, and I to do the erg next to each other. We started close to each other [on the water]. We used the relationship we’ve established in practice.”

The race capped what has been an outstanding year for the sophomore. Campbell took bronze at U23 Worlds, fourth at the senior world championships, and second in the Head of the Charles championship double event, in which Meyer served as his partner. Campbell will be honored for his accomplishments at the New York Athletic Club in New York City at the inaugural Golden Oars Awards dinner and at the USRowing convention in Hartford, Conn.

While Campbell has been the most recognizable name, he has not been the only Crimson rower making headlines. In addition to his strong performances on the erg and water this past weekend, Newell also stroked the USRowing eight to a win at the Head of the Charles in the lightweight eight event.

He and Sopko, meanwhile, won by a much smaller margin than Campbell did. The duo edged out second-place finishers Nick Lacava and Anthony Fahden by .27 seconds.

Despite his strong result, Newell noted in a text message that he felt he had “a lot of work left to do.”

In other events at the Speed Orders, Esther Lofgren ’07-’09 and Caryn Davies ’04-’05 took fifth and eighth, respectively, in the women’s pair. Lofgren, who has won the World Championships in the eight the past two years, raced in the pair with Penn grad Susan Francia. Davies, a gold medalist in Beijing and silver medalist in Athens, raced with Meghan Musnicki, an alumna of St. Lawrence.

Olivia Coffey ‘11 and Laura Larsen-Strecker ‘08 took 14th and 24th, respectively, in the women’s single, while Nick Baker ’07 took 15th in the single. All three rowers served as captains during their times in Cambridge.
