Herbert Roger Morris (July 16, 1915 – July 22, 2009) was an American rower who won Olympic gold at the 1936 Summer Olympics.[1]
Raised in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Morris had rowed on Puget Sound as a boy and took up sweep-oar rowing at the University of Washington. He rowed in UW senior varsity eights which won US national Intercollegiate Rowing Association titles in 1936 and 1937.[2] At the 1936 Summer Olympics, he won the gold medal rowing in the bow seat of the American boat in the men's eight competition.[1][3]
Morris was a mechanical engineering graduate. In his professional career he worked on large scale dredging projects in the Seattle area.[2] He died on July 22, 2009, as the last remaining member of the crew.
