Sarah Dolan took third place in her repechage of the lightweight single sculls at the World Rowing Championships in Bled in Slovenia today. The 21-year-old Trinity student could not make it into the top two which would put her into the A/B Semi-Finals, but she prevailed in a battle for third with Thailand’s Phuttharaska Nikree.
