Varsity: Scott A. Armstrong
Armstrong's debut as varsity coach in 1992 shocked the rowing world with an undefeated dual race season (9-0), an Eastern Sprints Championship and an IRA Co-championship. Dartmouth was the most dominant crew in the country, sweeping all of their dual races by open water en route to their first Eastern Sprints title. Three weeks later, the Big Green dead-heated with Navy and Penn for the IRA title. At the National Championships in Cincinnati, Dartmouth was nipped at the line by 3 inches in the closest race in regatta history. Dartmouth has proven to be a leading crew every year since 1992, consistently ranking in the top 10 nationally . The Dartmouth varsity has made the Grand Final of the IRA National Championships 5 out of the last 8 years. The program has risen to the most competitive level under Armstrong's leadership and recruiting, and will be a perennial contender for the National Championship in the years to come. On the national level, Armstrong coached the US Pre-Elite Team for two summers. Working with US Elite Coach Mike Spracklin, Armstrong coached development camps of the best collegiate oarsmen and coxswains in the country and selected the top eight for international competition. In 1993 his eight won the gold medal at the World University Games in St. Catherines, Canada, defeateding top entries from Great Britain, Germany, Canada and France. Armstrong's rowing career featured victories in the varsity event at the 1984 Eastern Sprints and 1986 IRA, as well as the 1984 Henley Royal Regatta with Brown University. In 1985, Armstrong rowed in the US Pre-Elite eight that won the silver medal in the prestigious Lucerne Rowing Regatta in Switzerland. Scott lives in Meriden, NH with his wife Beth, 3 children and 2 dogs.
