Five WAIS paddlers have been selected into the National squad training camps scheduled for November and December.

The selections were made following trials held in Sydney recently with WAIS athletes Lee Davey, Steve Bird, Reece Baker, Jesse Phillips and Alana Nicholls all named for selection.

Rachel Simper currently residing on the Gold Coast has recently resumed training and is considered a chance for a call up into the National Camps. Fellow WAIS athlete and Beijing Olympian Lisa Oldenhof and all other non retired Olympians were not required to attend.

This weekend will see Reece Baker and Jesse Phillips compete in the very popular Blackwood Marathon Relay in Bridgetown.
