Katrina Werry

In 2019 Werry was again picked in Australian women's sweep squad for the international season. For the two Rowing World Cups in Europe Werry was seated at two in the Australian coxless four and rowed to a bronze medal at RWC II in Poznan and to a gold medal at WRC III in Rotterdam. Werry, Aldersey, Hawe and Stephan were selected to race Australia's coxless four at the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Linz, Austria. The four were looking for a top eight finish at the 2019 World Championships to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. They won their heat and semi-final, thereby qualifying the boat for Tokyo 2020. They led the final from start to finish, took the gold medal and regained their world champion title.

Werry was selected in the Australian women's sweep squad in 2018 but was initially seated in the eight and replaced in the coxless four by Rosie Popa. In their second competitive outing of the 2018 international season in an Australian selection eight and racing as the Georgina Hope Rinehart National Training Centre, after Rowing Australia patron, Gina Rinehart, Werry won the 2018 Remenham Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta. Without Werry the four won gold at two WRCs in Europe but by the time of 2018 World Rowing Championships Popa was out of the four with an injury and Werry back in the two seat. Seated as they had been in 2017, the Australian four won their heat, were surprised by a new combination USA crew in the semi and then in the final placed second to the USA and finished with world championship silver.

In Mercantile colours she contested championship titles at the Australian Rowing Championships on numerous occasions. She raced in an all-Mercantile coxless pair and eight in the 2017 Australian Championships finishing in second place in both. She also contested the coxless pair title in 2018 finishing fourth.

In 2017 Werry was elevated to the Australian senior squad and was selected in the coxless four with Lucy Stephan, Molly Goodman, and Sarah Hawe. They competed at the World Rowing Cups II & III and as a foursome they didn't lose a race in the international season. At the 2017 World Rowing Championships in Sarasota, Florida it was to be no different. They won their heat and started slow in the final sitting in sixth place at the 500m and fifth place at the 1000m mark. In third 500m they began to push on the Dutch and were joined by Poland & Russia all challenging for the podium. In the final sprint, Stephan called Goodman to up the rating and at 43 strokes per minute the Australian four surged into the lead to claim gold and the world championships title ahead of Poland & Russia.

Werry made her Australian representative debut in the women's eight competing at the 2014 U23 World Rowing Championships in Varese. They raced to fourth placing. The following year at the 2015 U23 World Championships in Plovdiv she raced a coxless pair with her Mercantile club-mate Addy Dunkly-Smith. They won the bronze medal
