WORLD CHAMPION Rebecca is one of the New Zealand rowing team's longest serving sweep oar specialists, and makes up one half of New Zealand's women's rowing pair - traditionally a strong boat. Rebecca paired with Emma Feathery in 2009 winning in Munich and Lucerne before going on to secure a bronze medal in the pair at the World Championship in Poznan. Joined by Juliette Haigh in 2010, the pair were unbeaten in all international regattas, and Rebecca's season culminated in a history making perofrmance as the former Wanganui Collegiate rower became the first Kiwi rower to win a world title on home water.
