2022 LTW Rowing

I believe Todd sent out a very cursory note a month or so ago suggesting that Chris had moved on.  My assumption is also that he was let go but I have zero insight into what happened, though the silence suggests it probably wasn't something good.

The last email that I received from Chris was on November 5, just before the Princeton Chase and not too long before he was apparently terminated.  Four national championships in 11 years and a gold in the Head of the Charles a couple of years ago, yet Archer persists.  Must have been something pretty awful.

Maybe, as his last hurrah, AN appointed CK Interim Head Football Coach.

I started rowing at age 68, I'm 80 now.  In 2017, I got to stroke a 4+ in the Head of the Charles.  A friend and former Cornell rower told coach Kerber, and Chris sent an email wishing me well and included a blurb in the Lightweight Crew newsletter.  I greatly appreciated this gesture then, and it's something that I'll always remember.  Clearly, I'm not alone in my admiration for this coach whom I never met.

Anytime you see an old guy and the word "stroke," you need to stop and re-read carefully. Okay, it definitely is about rowing.

Hang in there!

Thanks!  I'm still at it.  In masters rowing, there's a time handicap based on the average age of the rowers in the boat. In the Head of the Genesee this year, my 8+ won by 1.645 seconds.  I did my part when I stepped in the boat.  Sometimes age has advantages, just not very often.
