In the summer of 1981, he was the stroke for the United States crew which won a bronze medal at the World Championships held in Munich. He also rowed with the U.S. National crew which finished seventh in the World Championships in 1983. Clark rowed the bow seat in the silver-medal-winning four-man without coxswain at the 1984 Olympic Games, placing second to New Zealand. The Columbia, Mo., native is a graduate of David H.
