Guilford's Sarah Trowbridge and her teammate Margot Shumway placed fifth today in the women's double scull competition at the Summer Olympics, meaning no medal for the Connecticut woman.
NBC Olympics is reporting that Great Britain (Anna Watkins, Katherine Grainger) took the gold, Australia (Kim Crow, Brooke Pratley) took the silver, and Poland (Magdalena Fularczyk, Julia Michalska), took the bronze.
After qualifying for the final Tuesday, Shumway and Trowbridge raced today against Poland, Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand and China.
