Orange earns 12 scholar-athlete awards and two all-regions honors
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse women's rowing team led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 12 scholar-athlete awards and earned two All-Region 3 honors when the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) announced its postseason awards on Thursday.
Junior Deirdre Fitzpatrick was named to the All-Region 3 First Team. Fitzpatrick earned First Team All-Atlantic Coast Conference accolades following the ACC Championship. Senior Georgia Hamilton garnered All-Region 3 Second Team honors, marking the second straight year she was named all-region.
The all-region awards recognize the outstanding performances of rowers and coxswains from each of the five regions, organized into first and second-team selections. Nominated student-athletes are evaluated on the strength of their team's regional finish, coaches' recommendations, and 2,000-meter erg score. Nominees must be eligible student-athletes who have competed in their teams' varsity boat in 75 percent of races this season. These athletes will be eligible for All-America awards selection following the NCAA Rowing Championships.
Kelsey Adams, Rose Aschebrock, Fitzpatrick, Chelsea Frawley, Caroline Habjan, Hamilton, Amy Ludovici, Shannon McCann, Saydee McQuay, Olivia Mennillo, Ailish Tinney, and Kari Tomeny all were named CRCA National Scholar-Athletes. Aschebrock, Habjan, and Ludovici each earned scholar-athlete recognition for the third time in their collegiate careers, while Frawley and Hamilton received their second all-time honor.
The 12 Orange honorees met the following scholar athlete criteria:
- The student-athlete has met all eligibility rules as defined by her institution
- The student-athlete was in her 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year of eligibility
- The student-athlete rowed in her institution's NCAA or IRA eligible boat(s) for a minimum of 75% of the current spring races or racing in a regional conference event.
- The Head Coach of the student-athletes institution was a member in good standing of the CRCA as of May 1, 2015.
- The student-athlete has had a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher for her career (through the fall semester/quarter for the current competition year).
