Linda S. Miller was a two-year Colonials letterwinner in women's rowing in 1993 and '94 after transferring to GW from Boston University. According to Coach Rob McCracken, she helped to elevate the women's program. Miller, elected captain as a senior by her teammates, was a member of the GW Varsity 8 that won the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association (SIRA) Regatta. She also won a bronze medal at the Champion International Regatta (now the ECAC League Championship).
For the next six years, Miller trained full-time for the U.S. National Team ('94-2000) in an effort to pursue her dream of becoming an Olympic athlete. During that time, she was a member of the national team at the 1997, '98 and '99 World Rowing Championships. She won a bronze medal in the women's pair at the 1998 World Championships at Cologne, Germany and a silver medal in the women's eight at the '99 World Championships in St. Catharine's, Canada.
In 2000, Miller became GW's second women's rowing Olympian (Michelle Knox Zaloom '86 was the first in '92 and '96) when she earned a seat in the U.S. women's eight at Sydney, Australia. Racing in the premier event six years after concluding her GW rowing career, Miller helped the U.S. to a sixth place finish.
A native Washingtonian and a member of the Potomac Boat Club, Miller, 35, is a graduate of T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va. Married to Martin Lowenfish, she and her husband live in Washington, have one son, Luke (4) and are expecting a second child this spring. Earning a Master of Public Policy at GW in 2005, she is now a policy analyst at the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO).
