Conlin McCabe (born August 20, 1990 in Brockville, Ontario) is a Canadian rower.
He rowed for the University of Washington from 2009 to 2013 (after taking a year off for the Olympics), helping the Huskies win three national championships. McCabe majored in Geography while at Washington.[1] He also came in first at the 2011 CRASH-B Sprints, a 2000 metre indoor rowing race with a time of 5:48.0. This made McCabe the first Canadian to ever win a CRASH-B competition in the Men's Open category. At Washington, McCabe and three other Canadian international rowers, Will Crothers, Rob Gibson, and Anthony Jacob came to be known as the "Canadawgs".[2][3]
McCabe's international racing career started at the World Rowing Junior Championships. He placed fourth in the coxed Pair in 2006 and won a silver medal in the coxless pair in 2007 with Anthony Jacob. McCabe went on to compete at two Under-23 World Championships, winning a silver in 2010 in the coxless pair (also with Jacob) and finishing fourth in the coxless four in 2009.
He won a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the men's eights with Andrew Byrnes, Gabriel Bergen, Jeremiah Brown, Will Crothers, Douglas Csima, Robert Gibson, Malcolm Howard and Brian Price.[4]
McCabe is the cousin of Canadian international swimmer Martha McCabe.[5]
