International representative rowing

McGlashan's first Australian representative appearance came in 1987 when he was selected in the Australian men's eight to race at the 1987 World Rowing Championships in Copenhagen. That crew made the A final and finished in fourth place.[4] The following year McGlashan made Australian Olympic selection and rowed in the single scull at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Again he placed fourth.[4]
