Olympics

[edit | edit source]

Geer and her sister qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team; however, neither was able to compete due to the U.S. Olympic Committee's boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, Russia. They both received a Congressional Gold Medal many years later as consolation.[1] She competed for the United States in the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, California, in the single sculls event where she finished in second place.[2]
