Hollowell Named Assistant Women's Rowing Coach

HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth women's rowing head coach Linda Muri has announced that Grace Hollowell has been named an assistant coach for the program. Hollowell brings over five years of coaching knowledge and more than a decade of personal rowing experience to the Upper Valley.

“I am very excited about the energy and coaching experience that Grace will bring to Dartmouth and our women's rowing program,” said Muri, who joined the Big Green staff in August after spending 13 years as the assistant coach of men's lightweight rowing at Harvard. “I am delighted to have Grace join us as a member of the Dartmouth coaching staff.”

Most recently, Hollowell served as the assistant lightweight coach at Boston University, a role she had held since August of 2013. In just a year, she helped lead the newly-formed program to a top-four finish at the IRA Regatta and assisted in growing the squad to a team of more than 35 women in the span of two years.

Prior to working with the Terriers, she was the head novice coach at Smith College from 2011-12 before being promoted to assistant coach of the varsity program from 2012-13. She also coached at the Harvard University Rowing Camp during the summers of 2009-14.

Hollowell was a four-year member of the Pioneer High School Rowing team, where she was a co-captain as a senior. She received the MVP award in 2005 and the Excellence Award the following year. In her four years at Harvard, she was a three-year letterwinner on the lightweight rowing team and a co-captain for the 2009-10 season.

Hollowell graduated from Harvard in 2010 with a degree in social anthropology and earned her master's in exercise and sport studies from Smith in 2013.
