Lightweight sculler **Andrew Campbell Jr**, from the USA, earned his first international medal in 2010 – a World Championship bronze in the junior men’s single sculls. The following year, he added yet another bronze to his new collection, this time in the under-23 lightweight men’s single sculls. In 2012, he accomplished the same feat, adding a third World Championship bronze medal to his growing collection, but that year at the senior level at just 20 years of age. He has since become an under-23 World Champion twice in the lightweight single. He is set to represent the United States in the Men's Lightweight Double Scull at the upcoming 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Braz
