Michael Blomquist (born August 14, 1981 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina) is an American rower and a former World Champion.

He then enrolled at St Peter's College, Oxford where he undertook a Master of Science degree in Nature, Society & Environmental Policy.

Both universities had extremely strong intakes that year, with Cambridge boasting several world champions and the Oxford crew including Olympic silver-medallist Barney Williams.

Oxford, with Mike in the six seat, won the epic contest by 2 lengths in a time of 16 minutes and 42 seconds.

He sat in the two-seat of the United States Coxed Four, which made the final of the World Championships in Lucerne, and again a year later in Seville.
