PA’s Mishler will row for Jacksonville U
PORT ANGELES — Olympic Peninsula Rowing Association rower Nathan Mishler signed a letter of intent this week to row at Jacksonville University in Florida.
His coach Debby Swinford said Mishler is interested in studying marine biologist. His choices came down to Jacksonville and Oregon State University, but he liked Jacksonville more.
“It’s quite an honor,” Swinford said.
Mishler qualified last year as a member of OPRA for the youth national rowing championships by finishing fourth at the Northwest Regional Championship Regatta.
He also won the men’s junior singles division at the American Lake Fall Classic Regatta last fall.
Mishler has only been rowing for four years, starting as a high school freshman.
His parents are Noel and Stacey Mishler of Port Angeles.
