Sarah Gray (born 28 October 1990, Cambridge, New Zealand) is a New Zealand rower.[1][2]

Under national coach Dick Tonks, Gray was placed in a women's quadruple scull with Fiona Bourke, Eve MacFarlane, and Louise Trappitt. They surprised themselves by winning bronze at the regattas in Hamburg (Germany) and Lucerne (Switzerland).[3][4][5] They maintained their form and won a bronze at the 2011 World Rowing Championships at Lake Bled in Bled, Slovenia.[6]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she competed in the women's quadruple sculls.[7]

She is also an equine veterinarian at the University of California's William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in Davis.[8] There, among her patients, she successfully treated a Western Classic Barrel racing champion for extensive lacerations, and aided his return to top form.[9] Her work with horses has been featured in literary works like Equine ER: Stories from a Year in the Life of an Equine Veterinary Hospital by Leslie Guttman.[10]
