NEWARK, Del. - University of Delaware rowing has announced the hiring of new assistant coach Amy Hildebrandt.
"I'm excited to bring Amy on staff," head coach Asiya Mahmud said. "Her attention to detail and breadth of knowledge across all areas will be an asset to our staff and student-athletes."
Hildebrandt comes to Delaware most recently from Clemson, where she spent nearly a year coaching the Tigers' varsity 8's. She also created practice plans, coordinated team gear distribution, and assisted with team travel.
"I am super excited to join the Blue Hens family and work with these athletes," Hildebrandt said. "I want to thank Coach Asiya, Kirby, and Matt, and the administration for trusting me to bring into their fold. I am excited to start the next chapter of my coaching career at UD."
She spent over six years as an assistant at Seattle Pacific University beforehand from Feb. 2017 - June 2023. There, Hildebrandt helped the team to compete at the NCAA Championships, specifically coaching the varsity 4 to fourth place in the national title in 2023 and fourth place at the GNAC Championships. She also coached them to a fourth-place finish at the 2022 National Championship and second-place finishes at the 2021 and 2022 GNAC Championship. Hildebrandt also created season and daily plans for practice, coordinated team travel, led on-campus recruiting, and worked with the strength and conditioning coach in creating and overseeing team weight training.
Before that, she served as the Assistant Juniors Coach at Eastside Preparatory School for two years, the Juniors Coach for the Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club for one year, and the Head Club Coach for Springfield College for two years. She is also currently the Masters Coach of Lake Washington Rowing Club in Seattle, Wash.Â
Hildebrandt earned her bachelor's in Business Administration from Pacific Lutheran University and her Masters of Science Exercise Physiology with a concentration in Wellness & Fitness from California University of Pennsylvania. She was a four-year student-athlete at Pacific Lutheran University from 2001- 2005.
