Carey Olympians – a brief history

Carey has a proud history of alumni representing Australia in the Olympics, starting with Ian Johnston (1964) who coxed at the Rome Olympics in 1960. Ian was only 13 years old when he competed, making him – still to this date – the youngest Olympian to have ever represented Australia.

The following table is the list of Carey Olympian alumni to date – if you notice anyone missing from this list, please let us know!
