Lucy’s dreaming of Paris

Growing up on a dryland cropping and cattle farm near Coolatai, Lucy Coleman didn’t spend much time on the water. It wasn’t until the now World Cup 2 silver medallist began high school at St Hilda’s on the Gold Coast that she picked up an oar and began a career in rowingShe rowed at the Sydney University rowing club and was then invited to perfect her craft at the Hancock Prospecting Women’s National Training Centre in Penrith. It’s the base for the best of the best. Coleman’s parents still run the farm near Coolatai but she doesn’t get back as much as she would like thanks to a busy training schedule and overseas competition. But she’s hoping the sacrifices are worth it.
