Trevor Jones (born October 1, 1997) is a Canadian rower. He was born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec and his hometown was Lakefield, Ontario.[1] Jones is a two time World U23 champion in the single sculls event.

Career

[edit]

Jones won the single sculls at the 2017 and 2018 World Rowing U23 Championships. He missed competing at the 2019 version due to injury.[2] At the 2019 World Rowing Championships, Jones finished in 14th place with Matt Buie in the double sculls, after training with his partner for only a month.[2] After the Worlds, Rowing Canada re-evaluated the crews racing and decided to move Jones back to the single sculls boat.[3]

In May 2021, Jones qualified the singles sculls boat for Canada's 2020 Olympic team, by finishing second at the 2021 FISA Final Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland.[4]
