Beau Hoopman headlines a group of six former University of Wisconsin rowers who will compete for the United States at the World Rowing Championships from Aug. 23-30 in Poznan, Poland.
Among the Badgers contingent are three Intercollegiate Rowing Association national champions and a two-time Olympic medalist — Hoopman, a former UW captain who won Olympic gold in the men’s eight during the 2004 Games in Athens and captured bronze in the same event in 2008 in Beijing.
