Rowing career edit
Holroyd competed in the women's eight event at the 1984 Summer Olympics.[1] The team finished in eighth place.[2] The following year Holroyd was part of the double sculls crew with Jean Genchi that won the national title in a dead-heat with Sons of the Thames, rowing for Bradford Amateur Rowing Club, at the 1985 National Rowing Championships. The race was the first dead heat for winners since the start of the Championships.[3][4]
She represented England and won a silver medal in the eight and a bronze medal in the coxed four at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland.[5][6]
