On November 4, Washington senior rower and Great Britain national team sculler Anna Thornton suffered a traumatic head injury in Seattle that lead to a medically induced coma. She was successfully transferred back home this week to Nottingham, GB where she now faces a long road of recovery.

Here are some of our favorite photos row2k snapped of Thornton during the 2018 season, which was a truly great season for her. Some of her results in 2018:

Varsity 8+ and Team Champion at Pac-12 Championships

2nd place Varsity 8+ and second place Team at NCAA Championships

Stonor Challenge Trophy winner (W2x) at Henley Royal Regatta with Charlotte Hodgkins-Byrne

U23 World Champion in W2x with Hodgkins-Byrne

4th place finish at Senior World Championships in W2x with Hodgkins-Byrne
