The heavyweight finalists are Princeton University’s Patrick Long, Brown University’s Oliver Page-Kuhr, University of California-Berkeley’s Frederick Breuer, University of Pennsylvania’s Sam Sullivan, University of Washtington’s Logan Ullrich, Harvard University’s Gabriel Obholzer, Dartmouth College’s William Bender, and Syracuse University’s Lachlan Doust.

Ballots were distributed to head coaches of Intercollegiate Rowing Coaches Association (IRCA) head coaches, former coaches, rowing media members, Olympic medalists who competed in the IRA, and team captains of recent IRA winning teams.

Winners will be announced Friday, July 11.
