As reported by the Cal Alumni Association, two current Berkeley students and three alumnae will represent Canada at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics later this summer. The five women will join a large cohort of current and former Golden Bears competing for Olympic glory for a number of international teams at this year's games.
One notable face in this intrepid group is two-time NCAA champion Camryn Rogers, class of '22. The 22-year-old athlete is a native of British Columbia, and has previously represented Canada at numerous international youth events. She astonished the collegiate sports world earlier this year when she broke the collegiate women's hammer throw record twice in one day and set a personal best of 75.52 m (247 ft 9 in). Rogers was profiled in a short film by California Magazine as an incoming student in 2019.
The other competitors with a Cal connection are:
- Emma Wright, Kindred Paul, and Kelly McKee (women's water polo)
- Sydney Payne (women's eight rowing)
