Edward and Francis selected to trial for elite/U23 squad

Following some great results at the NZ Championships over the weekend, the selectors have chosen two Rotorua Rowing Club rowers to trial for selection into either the Under 23 NZ Team going to the 2012 U23 World Rowing Championships in Trakai, Lithuania from the 11th of July to the  15^th of  July or the 2012 World Rowing Championships which will be held  in Plovdiv, Bulgaria between August 15^th and  August 19^th.

Both Julia Edward, rowing under RRC colours for the Waikato Regional Performance Centre (WRPC) and Jeff Francis (RRC, WRPC) are U23 so are theoretically suitable for selection into both regattas.

Elite and U23 Trialists

The Waikato RPC have 27 athletes selected for the Elite and U23 trials which begin on Saturday 25 February - 2 March. The athletes will be put through their paces with ergometer tests and on water seat racing.
