VIS paddler Amanda Reynolds wrapped up her domestic season with victories in the women’s 1000m K1, 200m K1 and 500m K1 events at the 2019 Canoe Sprint National Championships at Champion Lakes in Perth late last week.
“I’ve been so happy with my results this week and it’s all the hard work we’ve done over winter and it’s just come up really well,” Amanda Reynolds said.
“My coach Guy (Power) and I put in a lot of work of getting our technique right and getting headspace back on the water and the boat is running beautifully so I couldn’t be happier,” said Reynolds.
