He oversaw the direction of both the men’s and women’s club teams until the women’s team was upgraded to varsity status and began competition in the fall of 1995. Both teams thrived under Sauer, including the women’s Varsity Four winning the club national championship in 1995. Once at varsity level, it did not take long for Sauer to build Virginia into a national powerhouse. The Cavaliers finished fourth at the inaugural NCAA regatta in 1997 and have finished as the runner-up on three occasions (1999, 2005 and 2007). Virginia is one of just seven schools to claim the NCAA Championship (Brown, California, Harvard, Ohio State, Stanford and Washing- ton are the others) and one of four schools to compete in at least 16 NCAA Women’s Rowing Championships. At each of those 16 appearances, the Cavaliers have not finished any lower than seventh. In addition to NCAA success, the Cavaliers’ Varsity Eight has been the top collegiate crew in the Championship Eights at the Head of the Charles four consecutive years and was the top overall crew at the 2012 regatta. Since being at Virginia, Sauer has helped coached several USRowing teams, including four times as the head coach of the US Under-23 National Team. Most recently, Sauer mentored the U.S. men’s squad at the 2015 World Under-23 Championships. Under the guidance of Sauer at the national level, the American quad won gold at the 2007 World U-23 Championships, while Kelsie Chaudoin was in the American eight that captured gold in 2008. UVa standout Jennifer Cromwell was in the 2- in that same squad in 2007 andwon gold with the eight in 2010. Also in the summer of 2008, former UVa rowers tasted the ultimate success as Lindsay Shoop (Class of 2004) and Melanie Kok (Class of 2007) earned medals at the Olympics in Beijing, China. Shoop won gold with the U.S. women’s eight, while Kok was a bronze medalist with the Canadian lightweight double. Overall at Virginia, Sauer has coached 17 rowers that have competed at the World Champion- ships and six Olympians, including one at each of the last three Olympiads.
