Jamie Schroeder - International Rowing Career

International Rowing Career

Jamie won his first senior international vest in 2003. He sat in the three seat of the United States Coxless Four, which came 7th at the World Championships in Seville. He occupied the two seat a year later when the Four came 10th at the Olympics in Athens. After taking a break from international rowing, Jamies competed in the single scull at the World Championships at Dorney Lake, Eton. He finished 12th. In preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the US quadruple scull first competed in the 2008 World Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland. The quad, with Jamie in the three seat, overcame the 3-year undefeated World Champion Polish quad to win a gold medal, marking the first time the US has had international success in the quadruple sculls event. Keeping the same lineup from the gold-medal World Cup boat, Jamie and his teammates Scott Gault, Sam Stitt, and Matt Hughes went on to place 5th at the 2008 Beijing Olympics later in the summer.
