Anna Fisher and Maia Hely from our women’s squad have been named Crew of the Year at the Scottish Rowing Awards 2024.
The announcement was made at the Scottish Rowing AGM, and the judges recognised Maia and Anna’s exceptional performance last season, including their win representing Scotland at Home International Regatta.
Citing the award submission, they said the two women had dominated the Scottish rowing scene this year, despite only coming together in the run-up to Scottish Rowing Spring Regatta 2024. The crew not only outclassed their competition in the R2 category at Scottish Spring Regatta, but also stepped on to do the same in the W2- at this years Scottish Championships (where they came an impressive 2nd), before representing Scotland in this boat class and securing a dominant win at HIR.
The two rowers also supported other crews in the club to great successes this year, being part of the W8+ that secured the challenge pennant at WEHORR.
“This is all while they were balancing full time employment and training within a club environment which is equally impressive – showing that rowers are able to succeed on the performance pathway regardless of age and stage.”
