Fourth place finish for Cranbrook rower

Cranbrook rower Katie Clark is back from the 2025 World Rowing Cup with a fourth place finish in Lucerne, Switzerland.

This was the second tournament of the 2025 World Rowing Cup with the first leg in Varese, Italy last month.

Clark also placed fourth in that event representing Canada.

She’s back home and is continuing her training as she pushes for the 2028 LA Olympics.

“We train three times a day, six days a week,” she said.

“It’s usually one rowing session, we’ll lift weights and ride bikes.”

After a brief stop in Cranbrook, she is heading back to Duncan, B.C., where the national team trains.

“We are based in the Cowichan Valley and we’re pretty lucky to have the community behind us there,” she added.

“It makes me feel like I’m at home and reminds me a lot like Cranbrook which is pretty special.”

Her next big event on the world stage will be the 2025 World Rowing Championships in Shanghai, China in September.
