Ellah Taylor has been selected to be in the Women’s 8 for the US U19 National Team. She has been training out in California since June and will leave to compete at World’s in Bulgaria on July 30.
Ellah came to AYRA as a 6th grader in 2020 and rowed with us until her family moved to Oak Ridge in the spring of 2022. When she moved, Jack told her new coaches at Atomic Rowing that they were getting a future Olympian and she is certainly headed that way.
We see Ellah and her parents at races every fall and spring (along with their dogs!) and still miss her kind, humble and cheerful spirit.
Good luck Ellah and all of our U19 U.S. competitors.
