May 23, 2005
The Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) announced its 2005 National Scholar Athletes on Monday. The award recognizes student-athletes with a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher that competed in 75 percent of her team's 2005 spring races. Also, the student-athletes selected were upperclassmen (2nd, 3rd, or 4th year) in terms of eligibility and their head coaches must be good standing members of the CRCA.
Clemson had three rowers honored by the CRCA for outstanding academic achievement during the 2004-05 season. Tiger rowers Ashlee Brown, Allison Spiker, and Kristen Weinacker were chosen as National Scholar Athletes. Brown, a first-team All-ACC and All-South Region rower this spring, sports a 3.79 cumulative GPA in animal and veterinary sciences. She was also a National Scholar Athlete in 2004. Spiker has a 3.86 GPA in landscape architecture, while Weinacker boasts a 3.85 in nursing.
"These women are true examples of the term student-athlete," said Susie Lueck, Clemson's head coach. "Not only do they excel on the water and achieve success within the team, but also they compete well in the classroom by holding themselves to a higher academic standard."
A total of 142 student-athletes from 49 schools were honored for their efforts during the 2005 season. The total number of recipients improved from the 2004 season, when 124 student-athletes were honored.
The Central Region produced 36 selections amongst 11 different schools. The South and New England regions produced 28 selections apiece, while the West and Mid-Atlantic both had 25 selections. Wisconsin led all schools with seven National Scholar Athletes, while Villanova was honored with six selections. Brown, Cincinnati, San Diego, Texas, and UCLA were represented with five honorees each.
