Carie Graves

Carie Brand Graves (June 17, 1953 – December 19, 2021) was an American rower and collegiate rowing coach.

Carie grew up in Wyoming Township near Spring Green, Wisconsin, and she attended River Valley High School.

Her paternal grandparents had moved to the Spring Green area in the 1930s from South Dakota so that Ben Graves, her grandfather, could take up a position as the land and farm manager at the renowned Taliesin.

Her first international success came in 1975 when she won a silver medal in the eight-oared shell at the World Championships, as part of what came to be known as the "Red Rose Crew", coached by Harry Parker.

[1] After earning a Master's from Harvard, Graves went back to coaching in Boston at Northeastern University for 10 years.
