OMAHA, Neb. -- Twelve members of the Creighton Rowing team have been honored with a spot on the West Coast Conference All-Academic Team, with the Bluejays boasting a league-best four first-team selections.
Three Creighton women's rowers maintained a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA. Senior Jessica Hasslinger (Business Intelligence and Analytics) and juniors Sarah Birnbaum (Chemistry and Computer Science) and Anna Cheek (Biochemistry) posted perfect academic marks and landed a spot on the first team. Joining those three were Bluejay teammate Anna Balling (Healthcare Administration).
Creighton's eight honorable-mention selections included Mollie Babich, Lauren Brendel, Isabelle Buhr, Shannon Flannery, Joslynn Hoburg, Liz Lowery, Maria Murray and Anne Marie Stonikas.
Birnbaum, Cheek and Hasslinger earned similar acclaim last spring, while Stonikas and Flannery have previously been named to the All-WCC Rowing Team for their work on the water.
At the conclusion of each athletic season, the WCC selects an all-academic squad for each WCC-sponsored sport. To be considered, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, while also being a significant contributor to her team. No fewer than 69 WCC student-athletes met the academic criteria for women's rowing.
The WCC Rowing Championships begin on Saturday in Sacramento, Calif.
