Local rower preps for World Rowing Cup in Switzerland

Cranbrook’s Katie Clark is representing Canada in the World Rowing Cup Circuit in the women’s single sculls.

Clark recently competed in the first stage of the international campaign in the Varese Italy World Rowing Cup, coming in fourth in the women’s single sculls Final A.

Clark will now move on to Lucerne, Switzerland for the next competition.

She says it’s been great to get back into rowing after rehabbing an injury through the winter.

“I’m really excited for this opportunity. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but wasn’t sure it was going to happen this year, given my knee surgery in December,” she said.

“However, with hard work, it’s become a reality. I feel like this Olympic cycle is about building on performances and setting the foundation, and this is an awesome opportunity for me to do that.”

Clark is training for a shot at the 2028 LA Olympics.

The Lucerne World Rowing Cup is scheduled for June 27-29.
