Maurice Grace

Maurice Grace rowed coxless pairs at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, just missing a medal with his fourth-place finish alongside Peter Raper. Grace later became known as a top rowing coach, working at the Sydney University Boat Club (SUBC), and he also coached the Australian national team at the 1976 Olympics. His SUBC crews won the Kings Cup in 1974 and 1975. Grace’s son-in-law, Tim Conrad, and grandson, Sam Conrad, both rowed in the eight for Australia at the Olympics, Tim in 1976 and Sam in 2008.
