Megan Kalmoe, (born 21 August 1983, Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a female crew rower who reached the final of the double sculls competition of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, with teammate Ellen Tomek, competing for the United States. The duo finished fifth overall, with a time of 7:17.53 over 2000m.^[1] The double trained at the U.S. Rowing Training Center at Princeton, New Jersey.

Kalmoe graduated from the University of Washington in 2006 with a degree in Latin and English in 2006 as U of W Huskies Team Captain and 101 Club Scholar Athlete. At her Saint Croix Falls, Wisconsin high school, she was team captain of both the cross country and basketball teams, a member of the National Honor Society, senior class vice president, and student body president. She graduated fourth in her class, and was a section leader and drum major in band. She received the Arion Award for most outstanding musicianship and the Marketplace, Greg Fey Memorial and Dayton's "Project Imagine" scholarships. Her future ambitions include visiting the world's largest and most celebrated parties, including Carnival, Mardi Gras, New Year's Eve on Times Square, Oktoberfest, and the Super Bowl. The 5'10" athlete would also like to travel to all of the U.S. National Parks, hike the Appalachian Trail, coach college rowing, and write an Academy Award-winning screenplay before earning an English PhD, writing a novel, and moving to South Africa.^[2][3][4][5]

Since 2008 Kalmoe and friends have annually compiled The List ^[6], a ranking of the "20 Hottest Male Rowing Athletes of the Year", which generates great debate among international rowers ^[7].
