Brooke Winger and Jacob Se
lander traveled to Graz, Austria, in
late May to represent the Oregon
Club kayaking team at the World
Freestyle Kayaking Championships.
And represent they did.
Winger was crowned the World’s
Women’s Rodeo Kayak champion
and Selander finished seventh in
the men’s squirt boat competition.
Winger found herself in third
place after the first round of compe
tition, but climbed into first place in
the next round and wouldn’t relin
quish her position, eventually edg
ing Deb Pinniger of Great Britain for
the win. Winger, 25, is a professional
kayaker and has won more medals
than anyone in the history of
freestyle kayaking.
Selander, a senior who was
making his first trip to the world
championships, joined fellow
Americans Clay Wright and
Dustin Urban in the top 10 of the
squirt boat competition.
“The squirt boat competition
went off big time today, probably
the best display of squirting artistry
ever,” Selander said in a May 27 re
port from Graz on www.usfka.com.
“Everyone in the top of the men’s
class had huge rides.”
Eugene kayaker Jay Kincaid,
who graduated from Thurston
High School in 1996, won the
World’s Men’s Rodeo Kayak cham
pionship, edging fellow American
Andrew Holcombe.

Nicole Sherey, Julia Hill, Melissa

Mandilag will begin training at the
Pocock Rowing Center on June 16.
From there it’s on to the national
championships, where the Ducks
will compete for the first time after
a long absence.
“It will be a really great experi
ence for all of us,” Sherey said.
After the world championships, the
Ducks will travel to Canada for the
Royal Henley Regatta August 5-10.
Wylie, a sophomore rower, will be
transferring to Texas next year after
receiving a crew scholarship. Hall,
also a sophomore, plans to study
abroad in Russia next year. John
son, a junior rower, will take over
club coordinator duties next year.
The Ducks hope the summer will
continue to build on the success
they experienced this year.
“It’s been really awesome,”
Sherey said of the year. “We met a
lot of our expectations.”
