Omaha, Neb. -- The Creighton Rowing team saw 14 student-athletes on the 2022 CRCA (Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association) Scholar Athlete award, announced on Friday, June 24.
Earning the honor this season were Emma Carpender, Karen Crouch, Ava Edison, Ally Einbeck, Maria Fier, Honor Foutch, Grace Frechette, Mary Hartigan, Sydney Hiatt, Destiny Jordan, Rebecca Meyer, Lauren Miranda, Gretchen Strobbe and Erica Svenby.
Creighton's 14 student-athletes honored is the highest number of any school from the WCC, surpassing Gonzaga (12), Portland (11), San Diego (11), Loyola Marymount (9) and Saint Mary's (2). The Bluejay total continues a climbing trend over the past several seasons. In 2021 Creighton saw 10 members honored, eight received the award in 2020 and five in 2019, and seven in 2018.
In addition to the recognition received by the student-athletes, the Creighton coaching staff was one of four schools nominated for the CRCA Coaching Staff of the Year award.
"Our performance on the water was the best in school history, but I'm equally proud of the work this team has showing inside the classroom," said head coach Dan Chipps.
