Ben Felter and Cameron Brink are on their way to becoming one of the best celebrity athlete couples. Much like Brink, Felter is an athlete, not in basketball but for rowing. The athlete committed to Stanford University and joined the college’s rowing team in October 2019. He shared the news on social media, writing, “Proud to be committed to Stanford University for rowing. Thank you to everyone who has supported me.‼️ Go Cardinal‼️ #stanford2024.”
Felter has had an impressive college career. According to his roster, he was a two-time IRCA Scholar-Athlete in 2022 and 2023, and rowed in the fifth seat on Stanford’s second Varsity Eight at the IRA Championships.
Rowing has meant a lot to Felter, although it hasn’t always been easy, but it’s his love for the sport that kept him going. When speaking on the “Weekends with Josh” podcast, he explained, “Once I picked it [rowing] up it was the first time I ever had that feeling of, ‘Oh wow, I could possibly compete at the next level.’ Like I could actually be pretty good at this sport. And that’s what got me into rowing and got me to stick with rowing.” It’s a good thing he did stick with rowing, because Felter has had an incredible run at the sport.
