Jason Read

Jason Read (born December 24, 1977) is a rower who sat in the bow seat in the 2004 Summer Olympics Gold medal-winning U.S. Men's Rowing Team.

Read was born and raised in Ringoes, New Jersey."Area pair are rowing alternates", The Times (of Trenton), June 28, 2008.] He attended the Hun School of Princeton, where he took up rowing, continuing the sport at Temple University. As volunteer chief of the Amwell Valley Rescue Squad in Ringoes, he was among those who responded after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. [Lieber, Jill. [http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/athens/boat/2004-07-21-rowing-read_x.htm "Read emerges from nightmare with stronger faith, will"] , "USA Today", July 21, 2004. Accessed June 12, 2007. "He became passionate about rowing when he was just a scrawny, metal-mouthed eighth-grader at The Hun School in Princeton, N.J., battling his way to the 2004 Olympic eight despite always being seen as too small in such a powerful sport."]

Read failed to make the U.S. rowing team for the 2008 Summer Olympics qualifying only as an alternate.
