Forty-one student-athletes earned 2008-2009 USRowing Scholastic Honor Roll honors and 43 student-athletes earned honorable mention scholastic honor roll accolades, the organization announced on Wednesday.
The USRowing Scholastic Honor Roll recognizes high school seniors who have excelled in both academics and rowing. Applicants must be USRowing members, have rowed or coxed at least one year, and successfully competed at or above the league or regional level. This is the 18th year of this award.
The USRowing Youth Advisory Committee selected the winners based on a numerical ranking of their grades in academic solids, ACT or SAT scores and class rank, if applicable. Overall, 172 student-athletes from 83 rowing clubs and schools from around the country applied for the 2008-2009 USRowing Scholastic Honor Roll.
