Former Dartmouth captain Andrew Hilton '99 returned to his alma mater as the freshman heavyweight crew coach in August 2010. Hilton brings a wealth of experience
from a variety of areas to the role.
Hilton graduated from
Dartmouth in 1999 as the captain of the varsity lightweight crew after
leading the team to a bronze medal at the 1999 IRA
National
Championships. Since then, he has coached at Harvard, Wisconsin, MIT,
and Cal-Berkeley, where he was an assistant coach on the staff that
produced the 2006 IRA National Champion Cal varsity eight. Hilton also
spent a year training with the United States National Team at
USRowing's Princeton Training Center in 2002 and coached at Deerfield
Academy from 2003-2005.
"Andy's return to the boathouse
highlights an exciting time for the team," said Bordeau. "The fact that
our program was able to attract someone with a decade of experience
says a lot about what the guys have done over the past few years, and
Andy's experience on programs that both recruit and develop elite-level
talent will undoubtedly help us as we look to move higher up in the
ultra-competitive upper echelon of intercollegiate rowing."
