Early life

Olympian

In 1976 she was a member of the American eight-oared crew which won the bronze medal.[1] Warner qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team but was unable to compete due to the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott. In 2007, she received one of 461 Congressional Gold Medals created especially for the spurned athletes.[2] She was a member of four other national teams including the 1975 eight which won the silver in Nottingham, England. Warner also coached the lightweight double of Chris Ernst and C.B. Sands which won the gold at the World Championships in 1986.

Education

Warner is a graduate of Yale University in Russian studies, conducted the Yale Slavic Chorus and the Cambridge Slavic Chorus, and went to Bulgaria for a year to collect folk music from the mountain villages on a fellowship from Yale. While at Yale, she and Chris Ernst led the protest of the women's crew for equal facilities under Title IX. After Yale and Bulgaria, she returned to Cambridge, where she attended Harvard Law School.

Personal

She married Clifford Taubes, a Harvard mathematician,[3] from whom she later became divorced. She and Taubes had two children. She currently lives in Lincoln, Massachusetts with her partner, Daniel Paul, and is the General Counsel at Velcro Companies in Boston, MA.
