Saratoga Catholic's Mr. Chris Chase Honored with USRowing’s John J. Carlin Service Award

Aside from being a great social studies teacher here at Saratoga Central Catholic, you may not know that Mr. Chris Chase has made an incredible impact on the sport of rowing at the national level!

Congratulations to Mr. Chase on receiving the John J. Carlin Service Award at the Head of the Charles this past weekend!

From USRowing:

“Chris Chase’s commitment to rowing as a regatta organizer, coach, program director, and eventually staff member of USRowing changed the trajectory of youth rowing in America and the regattas in Saratoga, NY. His efforts in coaching education, the birth of Youth Nationals, the Junior National Team, and as a widely beloved community builder are second to none. As a coach, Chris spent decades working with the junior national team and laying the groundwork for the team's success. Chris recently left rowing to return as a teacher and coach in other sports (who are so lucky to have him), and we would be remiss not to honor Chris for all he has done for our sport.

Chris Chase has organized and led many USRowing and coaching conferences, helping advance coaches' education and skills across the country.”
