From 2008 to 2010 Fenger rowed in Tasmanian state representative crews contesting the Victoria Cup in the women's lightweight quad scull at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships. She won that title in 2009 and 2010, stroking the crew in 2009.[1] In Tamar Rowing Club colours she contested national titles at the Australian Rowing Championships.
