More than 100 athletes converged on Burnaby Lake earlier this month for the national rowing team selection trials, with spots for the 2017 senior and under-23 rowing teams open.
A number of Burnaby Lake Rowing Club members stepped into the boats and competed, including two-time Olympian Lauren Wilkinson, who finished first with teammate Hillary Janssens in women’s pair. Also posting strong times were: Taylor Hardy, 3rd in men’s lightweight single; Ellen Gleadow, 2nd in women’s lightweight single; Vlad Timinski, 11th overall in men’s lightweight single; Paul Whitmore, 19th in men’s single; and Kieanna Stephens, 13th overall in women’s single.
