Racing in the single scull, Parker won back-to-back national championships in 1959 and 1960, as well as at the Pan Am games in ’59. He captured fifth place at the Olympics in Rome the following year...
...women, Ekaterina Karsten from Belarus has the first bow number out of the 30 women in the event. Karsten was the Olympic champion in the single scull in both the 1996 and 2000 games. Karsten showed off her stamina in this year’s World Championships where she won bronze medals in both the single and double sculls competitions, events in which both finals took place within an hour and a half of each other. Massachusetts is well represented in this event—Carol Skricki of Norwood, Mass., and Cindy Bishop of Boston, Mass., follow Karsten...
...Gessner, who had 12 catches for 226 yards against Harvard last week, hauled in 19 balls, including two touchdowns, and shattered the Ivy record for receiving yards in a non-conference game with 292.

For his outstanding performance, Gessner garnered Ivy Offensive Player of the Week and Sports Network National Offensive Player of the Week awards. He now leads the nation with 15 catches and 243 yards per game...

By the time I got to the 50,000-m, trans-Sydney long jump, I was wiped. The Games...

"I figured I had a better chance of getting to Australia in the single than in the eight," he says. And now, frankly, he has less of a chance for a medal since the U.S. eight, world champions three years running, is a favorite for the gold. Not that the more technically demanding single was unfamiliar to Smith. Rowers often...
