At the 2012 GB Rowing Team Senior Trials held on 10/11 March at Eton/Dorney, Imogen came 3rd in the lightweight women's single scull.

Imogen won gold at the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled racing in the lightweight women's quad with crewmates Stephanie Cullen, Kathryn Twyman and Andrea Dennis.

At the 2011 GB Rowing Team Senior Trials held on 16-17 April at Eton/Dorney, Imogen finished 7th in the lightweight women's single scull. In June 2011, Imogen won the LW2x event at the Holland-Beker International Regatta in Amsterdam on both days racing with Stephanie Cullen

Imogen trialled for the GB Rowing Team for the first time in 2010 when she was considered for the lightweight women’s quad at the World Rowing Championships in New Zealand.  She had been selected for the Scottish Commonwealth Rowing Championships squad but declined in order to continue with the GB squad.

Imogen first became involved in rowing at Inverness Rowing Club in 1995 after the club had appealed for small people to become coxes.   It was not until 2003 in her second year at Glasgow University, where she studied for an MA in Philosophy and Politics, that Imogen took up sweep rowing at the University’s boat club, mainly in eights, although she did compete in the lightweight women’s four at EUSA.

After leaving university Imogen joined Clyde ARC and started to scull.  In 2008 and 2009 Imogen competed at the Home Countries International Regatta and in 2009 she won the lightweight single at the British National Championships.

When not rowing, Imogen enjoys travelling, cooking, reading and hill walking.
