FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Rowing Canada's RADAR (Rowing Athlete Development and Ranking) testing is a rigorous week of challenges that the Vikes women's rowing team took head-on, with first-year Eliza Jane-Kitchen dominating the charts with her performances this week. Jane-Kitchen topped the Vikes team in the 6k event and tied up the 2k test for a first-place finish in a courageous battle and mere seconds off others splits, all personal best scores for this athlete. The earth sciences major earned her way onto the varsity team only a year after joining our novice program in September, coming from a background of high-performance cross-country skiing. After winning Brown Cup 2018 in our junior varsity eight boat, Jane-Kitchen is training hard to help lead the Vikes this upcoming spring racing season.
