“I’m humbled to be chosen as a recipient of this prestigious award, especially as a
rowing coach, a sport that doesn’t get as much attention in the mainstream. The athletes
I have been privileged to coach over the years are some of the most dedicated and
hard-working young women and men I know, the recognition and support from these funds
will make a big difference to grow the rowing community in Hamilton.”
