Rowed on the US Jr. National Team '86-89 having a sting of 4th and 5th places gave her the drive to continue rowing in college. Attending the '88 World Championships she witnessed Kris Karlson win the FPL1x and Kris became her instant idol. Today at the return dock Kris [currently the US team doctor] met Sara on the dock asking for a picture with the new World Champion due to her mutual respect.
Attending the University of Penn she had a number of disappointing years which led to her leaving the sport and taking up white water canoeing. Due to an injury canoeing she returned to rowing. Her hiatus enabled her to come back with a fresh start with a return to the '96 US Sr. Team.
When not training Sara has a full time job and likes to cook [lasagna is her favorite meal to prepare] and hang out with friends. The team environment is what keeps her in the sport. During the next few years as she prepares for 2000 she will also be preparing her self for medical school. I guess that rowing is not the only interest that she has with Kris Karlson!
