Olympics
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]
A family of Olympians
Carlie's sister Julia "Judy" Geer competed in the 1976 and 1984 Olympics for the American rowing teams,[3] her brother-in-law Richard "Dick" Dreissigacker competed as a rower in the 1972 Summer Olympics,[4] and her nieces Hannah and Emily competed in biathlon in the 2014 Winter Olympics and 2018 Winter Olympics, respectively.[5][6][7]
