SILVER 🥈 for Beckie Leigh (2 seat) in the Women’s Quad at the 2026 World Rowing Cup II.

Despite not initially being selected for the 2026 NZ team, Beckie continued to train alongside the squad, put in the work training in a single and it all paid off, being called up to the Women’s Quad after an injury opened up a seat in the boat.

We are super proud of you Beckie, the never give up mindset and your dedication to your training is inspiring. Huge congratulations on your silver medal, it is so deserved!
