"Ethan Anderson Rhodig tragically left this world on June 14, 2020, while bike training for an upcoming triathlon in Lincoln, NE. He was an avid cyclist, runner, swimmer, and all-around fitness fanatic. Ethan was a junior at Iowa State University studying Mechanical Engineering and very much looking forward to getting back on campus in August. Ethan graduated in 2018 from East Lyme CT High School. He made an indelible mark as both a champion Foil Fencer and Crew Rower. As a captain of both the ELHS Crew Team and Fencing Team, he was an inspiring leader and role model. Ethan had an extremely successful senior season winning the 2018 ECC Men’s Foil Fencing Championship and a second-place finish in Men’s Crew 4 at the 2018 CT High School Rowing Championship. He was competitive in everything and never settled or was satisfied with anything less than the best.
