The United States rowing squad for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games has been announced and the final roster is heavy with current and former Ivy Leaguers. In all, 16 members of the 45-person team have Ivy League experience.

The U.S. will be competing in 12 of the 14 events in Athens. The Ivies will be represented in nine of the events -- men’s double sculls, lightweight men’s double sculls, lightweight women’s double sculls, men’s quadruple sculls, women’s quadruple sculls, men’s pair, men’s four, men’s eight, and women’s eight. The other three events will be the women’s single sculls, women’s pair and lightweight men’s four.
