With her grandfather, mother and uncle all accomplished rowers, it may have been inevitable that Teal would also follow that path. Success does not come inevitably, but Teal’s has been considerable with a bronze medal in the women’s four at the 2019 world under-23 championships, and gold and silver medals in the eight and four at the 2021 under-23 world champs.
Not to be overlooked is her 2019 NCAA Championships victory in the varsity eight while rowing for the University of Washington.
The Paris Games will be Teal’s first, but her experience of contesting the 2022 world championships, where she was a member of the US four that placed 12th, will be invaluable.
Paris Result:
9th overall; 3rd place, B Final (6:31.71).
