A letter from a member of the rowing community with considerable historical information.

Hi Rachael,

I have stalked the BSRA website a few times this season and I keep finding the Alumnae page and wishing it was correct for the St Margaret’s girls.  Anyhow, I thought if I do not send an email, then perhaps no one will, so here is the extra and correct information that you require for this section on the St Margaret’s girls who have rowed for Australia. In doing this, I have to say thank-you to you for producing such an informative website that honours so much of the history of the BSRA.  Also, thank-you as ginghams thought this process has reminded me just how amazing Sally Kehoe had been all the way through her career.  At St Margaret’s we always held her up as the legend she is, however I had forgotten just what an amazing legacy she left this sport and particularly schoolgirl rowing here in Brisbane – 3 time Olympian, never finished worse than fourth at a world championships over a 14 year AUS representative career (only missing one WC or Olympic Games (2013), still holder of a world’s best time (W2x)!  Legend is too small a word for Sally. You may need to change the way you display these records to give everyone an idea of her record……….
