Mercs in the Australian Senior team

Published Mon 14 Mar 2022

Congratulations to the following members who have been selected into the Australian rowing team to compete in the 2022 World Cup series to be held in Belgrade (SRB), Poznań (POL) and Lucerne (SUI). And our Para Athletes will also compete at the Gavirate International Regatta (ITA). We are very pleased that the Club's para rowers are so well represented in that squad. Two new senior team members are Ben Canham and Paige Barr. Both obviously performed well at trials and both look to consolidate their places at the World Cup series. Kat Werry stroked the women's eight in the speed order racing at the trials. This boat was selected as the number one boat.

  • Paige Barr 
  • Kat Werry
  • Benjamin Canham

  • Red Matthews
  • Jessica Gallagher
  • Alexandra Viney
