Kris Karlson '85 returning to the Olympics -- this time as a team doctor


The Concord [NH] Monitor ran a story recently on Eph grad Kris Karlson returning to the Olympics this August, this time as the team doctor for the U.S. rowing and triathlon teams.

Karlson, a world champion sculler, who had never competed in organized athletics before enrolling at Williams and joining the crew team, competed in the quad boat in crew in the 1992 Olympics and finished fourth.

Currently Karlson practices and teaches family medicine and sports medicine at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover, NH.
