WEST COAST CONFERENCE ANNOUNCES 2017-18 WOMEN'S ROWING ALL-ACADEMIC TEAM

The West Coast Conference is pleased to announce the 2017-18 West Coast Conference Women's Rowing All-Academic Team. Seventeen student-athletes were named to the first-team, including seven returners from the 2016-17 team. LMU's Anna Davis and Bailey Page were among those named to the first team, while five others took home honorable mention selections.

Davis carries a 3.80 GPA as a psychology major, while Page sports an impressive 3.96 GPA while studying physics and applied mathematics.

Jessica Apodaca, Alexandria Bauer, Shannon Folan, India Krappe and Julia Pinamont earned honorable mention accolades.

Five of this year's 17 honorees turned in a 3.90 GPA or better, led by All-WCC rower Clare Adams of San Diego with a 3.98. Five more, including Marie Hayman and Olivia Lada of WCC champion Gonzaga, achieved between a 3.80 and 3.89. Both Hayman and Lada return to the list as juniors after making it last season.

All three of Portland's honorees - Melanie Martinell, Lauren Reid and Acacia Welsford - are also among this year's returners.

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.
