Olympian Alums

Henry Hollingsworth ’17 won bronze in crew at the 2024 Paris Olympics!

Three-time, gold-medal-winning Olympic rower Ellie Logan ’06 credits Brooks for setting her on a path to Olympic gold. “I think the reason I love to row is because of my early experiences at Brooks," she said. "Lake Cochichewick is a great place to row. Having this beautiful body of water on campus, where you can just walk down to the boathouse, is so special. I was very lucky to have that experience.”

The lessons she learned here serve her well to this day. "Rowing at Brooks prepared me for anything, because I developed my love of rowing at Brooks," explained the athlete. "Even at the level I’m at now, it can get pretty competitive, but if you love it, it doesn’t matter – you have fun doing it.”

Logan joined Brooks' ranks of Olympic rowers in 2008. Prior Olympians include: Eugene H. Clapp '68, W. Douglas Burden '83, Peter J. Sharis '86 and Helen C. Betancourt '94.
