BIOGRAPHY

Erin is still a relative newcomer to track; only making her international debut in the World Junior Track Championships in 2021. She stepped into the Team Pursuit squad this year in the wake of Emily Kay’s retirement, and took the year out of university to train full-time. She rode in Nations Cup and in the qualifying round of the European Championships where she also competed in individual pursuit and competed in the European U23s in July. As a natural sprinter the high-octane elimination race is Erin’s favourite track discipline.
