Days after clinching the gold, his teammate Justin Best — from Kennett Square and a Drexel University grad — proposed to his girlfriend of nine years, Lainey Duncan, live on NBC's "Today" show.

On Thursday, Best was the one who informed Mead of his flag bearing duties in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter.

"I was just looking up a bunch of stats, and it has actually been a pretty historic games like so far for us, obviously.

In 2021, Mead was part of the U.S. men's eight boat that finished fourth in the Tokyo Olympics.

The men's four team, with Mead seated in the bow position, won gold Aug. 1 at the Olympic rowing venue in Vaires-sur-Marne, located less than 20 miles outside Paris. "I got to get a haircut."

One of Chester County's best will stand alongside one of the greatest swimmers ever as they lead Team USA into the 2024 Paris Olympics Closing Ceremony.

🇺🇸 Team USA announced Thursday that Strafford, Pennsylvania, native Nick Mead -- fresh off gold in the men's four rowing event -- will be a flagbearer alongside legendary swimmer Katie Ledecky.

Mead joked that to really represent "rowing as best as possible" would be to first get a haircut.

From the Schuylkill River to Olympic glory.

A little more than a week after the U.S. men's four class rowers won an Olympic gold medal for the first time in more than six decades, one of its members with local ties will again make history.

Chester County native Nick Mead was chosen as one of two athletes to be flag bearers for Team USA at the Olympic closing ceremony on Sunday, becoming the first rower to do so for the Americans.

This week on “Jesuitical,” Zac and Ashley chat with gold medal-winning Olympic rower Nick Mead, who shares insights about being an Olympic athlete and praying with his team in Paris. Mead -- along with fellow Pennsylvania native Justin Best and Michael Grady -- rowed the U.S.

men's four boat to the United States' first gold in the event since the 1960 Games.

Michael Grady, Nick Mead, Justin Best and Liam Corrigan rowed their way into history, becoming the first U.S. men’s four boat to win gold in 64 years. U.S. swimmer Katie Ledecky, who is tied for most gold medals by any female Olympian, also will be a flag bearer for Team USA.

Mead, 29, from Strafford, is a 2013 graduate of the Episcopal Academy, where he started rowing as a freshman.

Mead said that the team had just "clicked."

In the days since they won gold, Best got engaged on live TV and the whole team even got to meet Elmo.

Now for Mead -- an alum of Episcopal Academy in Newtown Square -- he will stand alongside arguably the GOAT of women's swimming (Ledecky has won 14 Olympic medals) as they lead Team USA into Sunday's Closing Ceremony.

Ledecky was emotional while receiving the news.

Don’t miss the most exciting moments of the Summer Olympics in Paris!

I got chills," Mead replied. What’s on tap?

"We had the confidence that we could do this," the Princeton University alum said after the race. Obviously Katie Ledecky, the most decorated (U.S.) female Olympian. They outlasted New Zealand's silver-medal team by 0.85 seconds. Nick had the honor of being one of the two flag bearers at the 2024 closing ceremony (along with Catholic Olympic champion Katie Ledecky), and this fall, he’s preparing for his next win: a marriage in the Catholic Church.

It was the first rowing gold for a U.S. men’s four class boat since 1960.

Mead's selection as a flag bearer is the latest excitement for the men's rowing team.
