Is there any way for an athlete to have a try out in front of track recruiters for the Aus track team? She is currently a rower, does road riding and has tried track cycling before. She has amazing cross training potential.
Not just any average Joe, this girl is a powerhouse and has quads of steel, recruiters would understand if they met her, with a sporting resume to match.

That's how the AIS used to recruit some track cyclists - by identifying young talent from other sports. I believe female rowers were one of the groups targeted, for the reasons you describe.
Edit: She can apply here ... https://www.olympicfasttrack.com.au/

Thanks
I've sent her details through on that. Will be interested to see if they reply or look at the form though haha
To be fair they must get alot of applicants.
