Former Radford and ANU rower Sarah Davis has been added to the Australian team to contest the World Under 23 Championships in July in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Davis is part of a US-based College women’s four, which will be coached by ACT’s Vicky Spencer. The US-based Australian athletes were provided with the opportunity to gain selection into a limited number of U23 boat classes that had not been filled by Australian-based athletes in the April trials. Sarah comes into this crew having rowed 6-seat in the undefeated Ohio State College eight, who were US College Champions. The US Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association awarded Sarah their prestiguous First Team All-American Freshman of the year award.

The U23 Australian Rowing Team will travel to Lake Rama, Bosnia for a training camp from 8 July before they travel to the U23 World Rowing Championships in Plovdiv. Sarah will be joined by compatriot Luke Letcher from Black Mountain who will be competing in the Men’s Double Scull. Sadly Cara Grzeskowiak has had to withdraw from the National team because of injury.
