New Zealand U23 Rowing team
Each year the Foundation contributes to programmes that support New Zealand’s Under 23 rowing pathway. With your support, we aim to expand this further — strengthening opportunities for young athletes to continue their development and remain in the sport.
'I couldn't have asked for a better first and last U23's campaign. Getting the opportunity to train alongside such talented and dedicated individuals was special, and something I didn't take for granted. Our result as a crew was amazing, but it's the moments of learning and personal growth that came with the campaign that I treasure. I will be forever grateful for this experience!'
Meg Flanagan, 2025 NZ Women's Under-23 Women's Four
'My experience as a first time Under-23 athlete was epic! There’s nothing like it, training in an elite environment with the best support and coaching gave us everything we needed to preform to the best of our ability. The opportunity to train like elites has only increased my drive to get to the top, the technical improvements and personal development Under-23’s has taught me will help me continue to develop and reach my goals. I’m so thankful for this opportunity and am looking forward to the upcoming season!'
Grace Holland, 2019 NZ Women's Under-23 Coxless Pair
