Emily Sheppard (2019) wins gold at the U23 World Rowing Championships

Pymble rowing alumni Emily Sheppard is on top of the world after leading the Australian Women’s Coxed Four to a gold medal at the World Rowing U23 Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The crew had to use all the tools at their disposal after a start that saw them fourth at the 500m mark. After some key adjustments leading into the 1000m mark of the race, they took the lead and powered their way to the first Gold Medal of the regatta for the Australians.

Emily started rowing as a beginner with the Pymble Rowing Team in Year 10 and graduated in 2019. Emily has also coached within the Pymble program, before going on to focus her efforts to represent Australia.
