Orzolek finished less than three seconds behind Malta Boat Club's Sam Cunningham to miss qualifying for the national team. Cunningham finished with a time of 7:27.55. The single is the toughest event to qualify in for a sculler.
 
As a member of the Mercyhurst men's rowing team, Orzolek has competed for head coach Adrian Spracklen for two years.
