Club and state rowing[]

Patten is a West Australian who took up rowing at school at Perth College. Her senior club rowing has been from the West Australian Rowing Club.[3]

Her state representative debut for Western Australia came in the 2017 youth eight which contested the Bicentennial Cup at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships.[4] She again rowed in the West Australian youth eight in 2018.[5] She made Western Australia's senior women's eight in 2019 and contested the Queen's Cup at the Interstate Regatta for WA in 2019 and 2021.[6] In 2021 she stroked the West Australian women's eight.[7]

In 2019 she contested all three national sculling titles in the U23 age division in her campaign for selection for the U23 World Championships.[8] She won the double-scull U23 national title with Harriet Hudson. In 2021 in a National Training Centre eight she won the open women's eight title at the Australian Championships. That year she also contested the open women's pair and the women's coxless four titles.[9]

International representative rowing[]

Patten made her Australian representative debut in the coxless pair with fellow West Australian Bronwyn Cox in 2018. They rowed to a sixth placing at the World Rowing Cup III in Lucerne abd then took the pair to the 2018 World Rowing U23 Championships in Poznan and finished in fifth place.[10]

In 2019 Patten teamed up with Harriet Hudson and Hudson came to Perth where they trained under Western Australian coach Rhett Ayliffe. They were selected to row Australia's double-scull at the U23 World Championships in Sarasota-Bradenton where they won a silver medal behind Greece.[11]

By the time of national team selections for the delayed Tokyo Olympics, Patten had forced her way into the Australian women's eight, which had qualified for the Olympics on its 2019 international performances.[12] In Tokyo the Australian women's eight placed third in their heat, fourth in the repechage and fifth in the Olympic A final.[13]
