A busy international season of rowing will conclude at the World Championships next week in Florida for Aaron Lattimer.
The 21-year-old from Ladner will be competing in the lightweight men’s single sculls event which reflects a slight adjustment to the Canadian line-up.
Since earning his national team status following Rowing Canada’s Speed Order Trials in Burnaby, Lattimer has parterned with Victoria’s Patrick Keane in lightweight men’s sculls. The pair finished fourth at the World Rowing U23 Championships in Bulgaria. A month earlier, they made their World Cup regatta debut in Switzerland, placing fifth in the “B” final.
“We’re pleased by the continued growth and progress of the team throughout the season” said Iain Brambell, High Performance Director, RCA.
Lattimer’s older brother Maxwell is also a promising national team member who competed for Canada in men’s lightweight four at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio.
