Club and state rowing

[edit]

Ewing grew up in north of Sydney at Terrigal, New South Wales and her senior club rowing has been from the Sydney University Boat Club.[1]

Ewing's first state selection for New South Wales was in 2016 in the women's eight contesting the Queen's Cup at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships.[2] She rowed again in the New South Wales senior women's eight in 2017, 2018 and 2019[3] and rowed to a Queen's Cup victory in 2019.[4]

Ewing raced in SUBC colours in NSW composite eights contesting the women's eight event at the 2017 and the 2018 Australian Rowing Championships.[5] In 2017 she also contested the women's single and double sculls. In 2018 she contested the single sculls title and placed eighth.[6]

In 2019 she placed fourth in the Australian women's single scull championship, won the women's double scull with Cara Grzeskowiak and won the women's eight title in a composite selection crew.[7]

International representative rowing

[edit]

Ewing made her Australian representative debut at the 2016 World Rowing U23 Championships in Rotterdam where she rowed in the three seat of the Australian women's U23 eight to a fifth placing.[8]

In 2019 Ewing was selected in the Australian senior women's quad scull with Katrina Bateman, Rowena Meredith and Cara Grzeskowiak. They rowed to a fourth place at the World Rowing Cup II in Poznan and then to a bronze medal win at WRC III in Rotterdam.[8] In that same crew Ewing was selected to race Australia's quad scull at the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Linz, Austria.[9] The quad were looking for a top eight finish at the 2019 World Championships to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics.[10] They placed fourth in the B-final for an overall tenth-place finish and failed to qualify the boat for Tokyo 2020.[8]
