Annabel ('Annie') Morwenna Vernon (born 1 September 1982 in Truro, Cornwall) is an English rower.
She was educated at Wadebridge School,[1] Downing College, Cambridge and King's College London (MA International Relations).
Annie started rowing at Castle Dore Rowing Club at Golant in Cornwall when she was 17; influenced by her elder brother and father. She read History at Downing College, Cambridge where she rowed in the women's Blue Boat in 2003, under the presidency of Ruth de Las Casas. She was a member of Rob Roy Boat Club while in Cambridge, then represented Thames Rowing Club and now rows under Marlow Rowing Club colours.
She is extremely proud to represent Cornwall; her blades for her training scull are painted to represent the Saint Piran's Flag and she often carries the flag onto the podium with her.[citation needed]
She represented Great Britain in the Women's Quadruple Sculls at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning a silver medal.[2]
