CONGRATULATIONS GRACE LUCZAK ‘11

Congratulations to Grace Luczak on her induction to the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame!

Grace brought her trademark energy and enthusiasm to the Stanford Boathouse when she arrived in 2008, channeling that energy into a competitive spirit that helped lead the Cardinal to an NCAA Championship in 2009. Grace is a twelve–time US National Team Member and two–time Olympian. Her National Team presence spans fourteen years across multiple boat classes at the Junior, U23, and Senior level.

While at Stanford from 2008–2011, Grace became a fixture of the US U23 teams, winning gold in both the W8+ and the W2–. It was not unusual to see Grace double up at the U23 level as she did in 2009 and 2011, racing in both the 8+ and the 2–. In 2010, Grace had just finished winning Gold in the US U23 8+ when she was asked to jump up to the Senior 4– for the World Championships.

​​As part of Team USA, Grace has won three World Championships, has numerous World Cup medals, and has set 2 world records. Grace was recognized by World Rowing as a Top 10 Rower in the World. Grace is known for her always–positive attitude and never–ending smile. Her ascent from her roots in Michigan to the World and Olympic Stage is a testament to her extraordinary rowing spirit, and Stanford is honored to welcome her to their Hall of Fame.
