This summer will be one to remember for Autumn Crowe.
The 18-year-old St. Catharines resident has been chosen to represent Canada in the under-23 women’s four at the 2024 World Rowing Senior, Under 23, and Under 19 Championships (Mega Worlds) being held Aug. 18-25 in St. Catharines.
“I am so excited to be able to compete in my home country and in my hometown this summer. Competing internationally has been an invaluable experience, but my family has not been able to come out to watch me race yet,” the Ridley College graduate said. “I have an immense sense of pride for my hometown and country and being able to share that with the rest of the world will be so exciting.”
She is looking forward to her family being able to support her at worlds this year in person.
“Having them there and being able to show them what I have been doing the past three summers and training on the other side of the country the whole summer will be a surreal experience. They are my support system and having them there will take a lot of stress off.”
She can’t wait to see all the fan support.
“Both my parents and siblings will be watching me compete at worlds this summer. I am also hoping that my grandpa will be able to be there to watch in person. My teammates’ families will also be there cheering. I am excited to see how big Canada’s cheering squad will be given that our Canadian squad is composed of just over 80 athletes.”
