NSWIS trio win selection

Three NSWIS rowers have been selected on the junior Australian rowing team to contest the 2011 World Junior Rowing Championships in England.

Louis Snelson, Nicholas Wheatley and Aaron Wright were selected to the team at the conclusion of the 2011 Rowing Australia National Selection Trials over the weekend. Snelson, selected in the men’s coxed four will contest his third world junior championships; Wright, in his second world junior championship, joins Snelson in the coxed four, while Wheatley, also at his second junior world championship, will compete in the men’s coxless four.

The championships take place from August 3-6 2011, and will double as a test event for the rowing venue at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
