Kia orana, my name is Alison, and I am the Wahine Coach for TAZ (Team Arizona Outrigger). I am looking for a seat for one of our exceptional paddlers, Meagan Ross (35), in either the V6 Iron 12km Open Women or Open Mixed race. Out of the 14 women we are bringing over to race, Meagan is our only Open division paddler, which is why we are seeking a competitive crew for her to join! Meagan has been paddling with TAZ for the past four years. She is a strong, highly experienced paddler in both ocean and flat-water conditions and can comfortably fill any open seat from 1 to 6. It is worth noting that she is an experienced steerswoman; her excellent water-reading skills and deep understanding of canoe dynamics provide a massive advantage to any crew she joins. Meagan has raced and paddled in Hawaii and the West Coast of California. Her dedication to fitness aligns perfectly with the endurance demands of marathon racing. She trains consistently with our top crews, joins us for extra outrigger sessions, and cross-trains heavily at the gym and in the pool. She has an exceptional attitude and always gives 110%. In fact, Southern California crews frequently ask to borrow Meagan to fill their SCORA Open Women rosters. Beyond her physical strength and versatility, Meagan is an incredible teammate.
