Ken Dreyfuss has had a distinguished career as a rowing competitor and coach at the collegiate, national and international levels. As an athlete, he captained and coxed Penn's Heavyweight crew that broke Harvard's six year undefeated streak in 1969 and took three consecutive team championships at the Intercollegiate National Championships (IRAs). Ken was a coxswain at the 1974-75 World Rowing Championships, the 1976 Montreal Olympics, and the 1975 Pan-American Games where his boat won a gold medal.

Ken's coaching career has included Chestnut Hill Academy, the US Naval Academy's Plebe Heavyweights, Stanford University's Varsity Heavyweight Men and Potomac Boat Club. Ken's Chestnut Hill teams won the Philadelphia City and Stotesbury Championships. At Navy, his Plebe crew garnered the 1982 Eastern Sprints title while the entire Navy team won overall supremacy honors at the IRA in 1982, '83 and '84. At Stanford, Ken was named 1986 PAC 10 Coach of the Year while his Varsity men defeated the University of California six times and the University of Washington three times, ending a seventeen year drought against both. In 1993, Ken founded Potomac Boat Club's Elite Sculling Program, which in the past decade has placed more athletes on the United States National Rowing Team than any other U.S. program.
