The other noted achievement Vankoeverden almost accomplished was eight gold out of eight events.

For Vankoeverden there were no junior world championships this year in which to improve upon last year's bronze medal finish, but he did manage a second place finish at the most prestigious junior regatta of the year in Germany. "That was good," said coach Scott Oldershaw. Especially considering, he added, that "he had boat problems."
