Club and state rowing

Carroll was first selected for New South Wales at the senior level in 1987 lightweight coxless four which contested the Victoria Cup at the Interstate Regatta.[1] She raced in that event again in 1988 and 1990.[2] In 1988 with Carrol at stroke the New South Wales crossed the line first by a convincing margin but were disqualified due to a doping infringement.[3]

She rowed in Mosman Rowing Club colours contesting Australian national titles in the lightweight pair and the lightweight coxless four on a number of occasions. In 1987 she won the lightweight championships title with Virginia Lee and placed second in the coxless four.[4] In 1988 she again won the pair with Lee and won the national lightweight coxless four title with Lee, Jean Turner and Simone Salier from Mosman.[5] In 1990 she placed third in the pair and second in the four.[6]

Carroll made her Australian representative debut in the lightweight coxless four at the Milan 1988. Battersby stroked that crew to a silver medal.[7]
