I'm 5'4" down from 5'5", which was the average height for girls of my generation; most of my same-age friends are within an inch or two of me. But my nieces and their girl cousins run from 5'9" to 6'1". I know when I was working in obstetrics that the babies were more likely to be 9 pounds rather than the 7 pounds that was "normal" for our generation, and someone said it's because people eat a lot more protein now.
Discussions after the race concluded that the coach is not managing his first-string boat crew well. The captain is not a nice guy who yells at his crewmates and makes fun of them. There was a rather famous former rower there, Casper Bentinck (rowed on the Great Britain national team) who said they weren't pulling together at all. Fortunately the captain is graduating this year and my great-nephew will be captain next year; he gets along with everyone, he's very supportive of his teammates, and he knows exactly what the problem has been. Too bad the coach doesn't. I suggested that they tell him to watch "Ted Lasso."
