In March 2023 Antill and Bartholot were selected as Australian men's sculling squad for the 2023 international season.[https://rowingaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2023-Senior-and-Para-World-Cup-Team_17.3.23_FINAL_web.pdf 2023 Australian Squad announcement] At the Rowing World Cup II in Varese, Italy with Campbell Watts and Cormac Kennedy-Leverett they raced as Australia's M4X entrant. They made the A final but an injury to Bartholot resulted in his replacement in the final by Henry Youl. At 2023's RWC III in Lucerne, Bartholot was back in the boat to again race as Australia's M4X. Again they made the A final and in a photo finish for the bronze medal, they finished behind Romania in fourth place. At the 2023 World Rowing Championships in Belgrade Serbia, Bartholot, Youl, Antill and Jack Cleary were selected to race Australia's quad scull. They placed third in their heat and then won their repechage to progress to the A/B semifinals. Ultimately they finished third in the B final for an overall ninth place world ranking. This result did not qualify the boat for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
