Going to the Games

Congratulations to Gia Doonan ’13, USA Women’s Eight

Olympic talent runs deep at Tabor, with yet another former athlete qualifying for the Games. Gia Doonan was named as one of 30 rowers selected to represent the United States at the 2020/2021 Tokyo Olympics, according to the United States Rowing Association. She will row as part of the three-time defending Olympic champion women’s eight. If the US wins again in Tokyo, it would set a record for most consecutive Olympic gold medals in the event. Currently, the US and Romania are tied with three golds.

Doonan, who discovered the sport at Tabor, follows in the footsteps of other great Tabor rowers, including fellow Tabor Olympian Charlie Clapp ’76. Read more about Clapp’s Olympic career, which earned him two medals, on page 43. Read more about Doonan’s career online at www.taboracademy.org/magazine

We wish Doonan and her team well in their pursuit of the gold!
