Omaha, Neb. -- Eleven members of the Creighton Rowing team (Emma Buys, Chloe Carlson, Emma Chipps, Shayla Edwards, Paige Harty, Emma Johnson, Laurel Kieffer, Rachel Malander, Claire Robertson, Summer Ryan and Ivy Williams) were recognized by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) as Scholar Athletes on Tuesday, June 17.
"It is beyond impressive to see what our team continually achieves in the classroom, considering the rigourous academic requirement at Creighton combined with the long hours our team puts in on the water and in the weight room," said head coach Dan Chipps. "The dedication shown by not only the group honored by the CRCA, but the entire team, make it a pleasure to lead this team."
