Aug 29-USRowing announced its 2002 Senior National Team roster and former Torero rower Ali Cox (Turlock, CA) was selected to compete for the U.S. in the eight (six seat position). She will take part at the upcoming World Championships at the 2002 FISA World Rowing Championships September 15-22 in Seville, Spain.

The three-time Torero MVP competed for the U.S. at the Nation's Cup (Copenhagen, Denmark) in 2000 with the women's four winning the gold medal; she also competed at the World Rowing Championships (Lucerne, Switzerland), with the fours placing fourth.
Cox, who trains out of Princeton, New Jersey, will be teamed with six other members of Princeton TC - Mary Whipple, Kate MacKenzie, Maite Urtasun, Bernadette Marten, Dana Peirce and Kate Johnson. The team is rounded out by Caryn Davies (Radcliffe Crew) and Anna Mickelson (U. of Washington).
Twenty-four events will be contested at this year's world championships with the U.S. racing in 23. Last year, the U.S. won four medals at the world championships including silver medals in the lightweight women's quadruple sculls and lightweight women's pair, and bronze medals in the women's quadruple sculls and lightweight men's eight.
