Rowing Australia has released the list of athletes invited to the underage selection trials to be held in Penrith, April 6-10. With a large number of Queenslanders on the list, we wish all athletes the very best as they trial for positions on the Australian Rowing Team for 2016. 
 
Para-Rowing
Included in the Sydney International Rowing Regatta was a number of para events, which this year saw 26 athletes compete. The most contested para event was the LTAM1x, with 10 competitors, requiring two heats, repecharge and A and B finals. Mac Russell, from UQBC won the gold in this event, a fantastic achievement for the sculler, in his first year out of school.
For the second year, Rowing Australia also invited all para rowers to take part in a 2000m handicapped exhibition race for a boat categories, in preparation for a possible FISA change to race distance in 2017. Mac once again had great success in this event, winning the bronze medal, behind Australian Rowing Team and World Championship medalists Kat Ross and Gavin Bellis in first, and Erik Horrie in second. 
The interstate regatta also saw para events included for the first time, the LTAW1x and LTAM1x were the first events of the Sunday afternoon, with Cam Kosmala putting on the maroon zootie for Queensland in the men's event.
