TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Thirteen members of the Alabama rowing team earned a spot on the 2020 Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) Scholar-Athlete List.
The Crimson Tide's 13 award winners mark the third highest in program history, with the program-best 17 coming from the 2016 team, followed by the 2017 team with 14 athletes. Alabama has had at least five student-athletes named to the list every year since the program's inaugural 2006-07 season and has earned 10 or more five of the last six seasons. In total, 140 Alabama rowers have earned this distinction over those 14 seasons.
The 2020 Scholar Athlete Awards requirements were modified for the 2020 season due to the cancellation of the spring sports season. Student athletes had be in their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year of eligibility, be ranked performance-wise in the top 50% of their team at the conclusion of the 2020 season, and must have a 3.50 cumulative GPA or higher for their career and through the fall semester or quarter for the current competition year.
Alabama's 2020 honorees include Haley Alexander, Sydney Boles, Makena Clark, Ellen Davis, Olivia DeGroot, Ilaria Earl, Gabi Gevers, Sarah Giuliani, Izzie Gonzales, Darcy Jennings, Ella Maggio, Claudia Mecchia, and Gianna Rucki.
