Rowing ACT is excited to announce the appointment of Tom Creber as the new High Performance Program’s Assistant Coach.
Tom comes to Rowing ACT from Banks Rowing Club in Victoria where he was the High Performance Coach. He previously held the position of Head Coach at Balliol College, Oxford University, where he was very successful in the inter-collegiate regattas and coached multiple athletes that were selected into various Oxford University crews. He has since spent four seasons coaching at Melbourne Grammar, including the last two as the 2nd 8+ coach. Tom is also a very accomplished oarsman and now competes in Ironman triathlons.
In the recent 2022 Australian Rowing Championships, Tom coached crews to 10 medal placings, including 4 Golds.
We look forward to having Tom as part of our High Performance team, and getting out on the water!
