Emily Brown rowed for the Lake Brantley Rowing Association and was in the Junior 4 boat that won the 2000 title at the scholastic nationals. It marked the first national title for the Brantley program. A national-caliber rower, she spent part of the summers of 2000 and 2001 at the Junior National Team Development Camp. This summer, she has been invited to the Junior National Team Selection Camp. A hard-working, well-rounded, driven athlete, she also competed in cross country at Lake Brantley High School while rowing at the same time. An excellent student, as well, she will be enrolled in the University's College of Arts and Sciences.
Brenna Jenkins attended the Junior National Team Development Camp during the 1999 and 2000 summers and rowed at the Pocock Rowing Center last summer. She is also an outstanding leader as she captained the Greenlake crew. She is a physically gifted athlete whose off water achievements have indicated just a strong an athlete she is. A graduate of Nathan Hale High School, she is an excellent student and will be enrolled in Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.
Megan Keyes will be joining Emily Brown this summer at the U.S. Junior National Team Selection Camp after spending part of last summer at the National Team Development Camp. The captain of the Mt Baker girls crew this past season, she is a strong gifted athlete both on and off the water. A graduate of Franklin High School and a member of the National Honor Society, she will enroll in the University's College of Arts and Sciences and is interested in a pre-med program.
Lindsay Clement-Meehan excelled on both the national and international levels, as she will bring a tremendous amount of racing experience to the Terrier program. In her native Australia, she was a member of the varsity eight that won the NSWCHS championships in 1998-99 and again in 1999-2000. Her leadership qualities were evident when she was appointed Captain of Boats in 2000-01 and received the Area Blue Award in 2001. She also competed three events at the Australian Rowing Championships in Queensland and was first in the junior eight, second in the junior four, and fourth in the junior pair. She was also a member of the junior eight and junior four that won at the Pacific Age Championships. In addition, she competed at the junior eight national championship in 2001. On the international level, she was chosen to row in the Elite Junior Women's Development Program at the University of New South Wales Rowing Club and represented Australia at the European Junior Championships in the Czech Republic.
Amanda Milborne is proficient as both a sweep rower and sculler. She has rowed for both the Argonaut Rowing Club and Branksome High School and has brought a high level of intensity to both programs. An excellent leader and motivator, she brings tremendous potential to the Terrier program. She will be enrolled in the College of General Studies.
Tess Miller spent the past year rowing for the St. Catharine's Rowing Club, which has been a perennial powerhouse for junior rowing in Canada for several years. What makes her progress particularly noteworthy is that she has rowed for just one year. Her primary sport has been rugby, and she is one of the bright young rugby stars in Canada. In fact, she has been on Canada's under-19 national team for four years. However, in just one year, she has made the transition to rowing very easily.
