BALLARAT PAIR CROWNED YOUNG TEAM OF THE YEAR
Congratulations to Katie Jackson & Lucy Richardson on being awarded the Young Team of the Year at the 2023 Victorian Sport Awards! This award recognises a Victorian junior team who has achieved outstanding results with respect to their performances at a national and/or international level during 2023.
In 2023, the Wendouree Ballarat RC Pair claimed the U21 Victorian and U19 National titles under the guidance of coach Jamie McDonald, before representing Australia at the World Rowing U19 Championships in Paris. The girls had a fantastic regatta, held at the 2024 Olympic course, winning their heat and semi-final, before racing strongly in a fast-finishing final to win the bronze medal.
