    Women's Rowing (2013)
As a senior captain, Archer rowed fourth seat and helped the Big Red varsity eight to a 15th place finish at the 2013 NCAA Women's Rowing Championship, earning second-team CRCA All-American honors for her efforts. She was a three-time CRCA All-Region Selections, having been named first-team in 2012 and 2013, after a second-team honor in 2011, and was also named a CRCA National Scholar Athlete in 2013. Archer earned second-team All-Ivy honors following a junior season in which she was one of just two underclassmen rowing in the varsity eight and helped the Big Red to one of its best seasons in more than 20 years with a second place finish in the varsity eight race at the Ivy League championship. Cornell went on to participate in the 2012 NCAA Championship, where the crew finished fifth in the Petite Final, good for 11th in the nation.
