Kim Hawker is currently in her third year of Camosun College’s Athletic and Exercise Therapy program. She began rowing nine years ago, competing for the Gorge Rowing Club and the Victoria City Rowing Club. Hawker then went on to cox for the University of Victoria’s women’s rowing team. Hawker has been a rowing coach for several years at Oak Bay high school during the fall season and this past year was named an assistant coach of Victoria City Rowing Club’s junior A girl’s team. As she returns to the Vikes rowing program she is excited to take on a new role that furthers the development of UVic’s novice rowers.
