The Manitoba Rowing Association would like congratulate Riley MacCharles and Casie Gauthier on an exceptional showing at the 2015 Under 23 Selections that took place in Burnaby last week.
The Selections at Burnaby for U23 National team took place May 8 – 20, 2015 in Burnaby, B.C. Both Riley and Casie improved significantly in their trials in comparison to last year’s times. In fact, in November of 2014 Casie finished 23rd, and by May of this year finished 5th. Casie was only two seconds away from a third place finish that would have put her on the U23 National team.
Riley managed to pull exceptionally strong as well. In November of 2014 Riley finished 17th overall, and at this month’s trials finished 9th in a very strong field. All selectors commented on the vast improvement of both Casie and Riley, and commended them on their positive attitudes and greatly improved rowing technique.
The Manitoba Rowing Association is very proud of these exceptional athletes, their hard work and dedication to the sport. An extended congratulations goes out to Head Coach, Antony Patterson as well for his hard work, dedication and results for his squad.
