JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Three Jacksonville women’s rowers were named to the For Stars Network preseason watch list heading into the 2026 competition season. Sophomore Amy Downing<\/a>, and freshmen Peyton Joyner<\/a> and Tayte Swenson<\/a> were named among the 196-person team. The Dolphins were the only MAAC squad to have three athletes on the list, and they led all schools in the state of Florida in honorees.<\/p>\n Downing is a fast rising sophomore for the Dolphins. As a true freshman walk-on, she earned a place in the lineup. She rowed in the Second Varsity 8+ at the MAAC Championships last spring. This fall, she rowed with the Varsity 8+ A crew at the Florida Fall Invite. Joyner and Swenson are both proving to be instant contributors in their rookie seasons for JU. They both raced in the Varsity 8+ B crew at the Florida Fall Invite, and they’re poised for key roles as the calendar turns to official competition season this spring.<\/p>\n The Dolphins will start their quest for a 10th MAAC championship this spring with a race against the\u00a0Villanova\u00a0Wildcats\u00a0in Gainsville, Florida, March 6. The season culminates with the MAAC Championships on May 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
