WASHINGTON - Nine members of the GW women's rowing program were named Scholar-Athletes by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association for the 2025 season, bringing the Buff & Blue's total to 40 over the last four seasons.

To earn recognition from the national body, a student-athlete must be in at least their second year of eligibility and maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50. On the water, the student-athlete must have rowed in a minimum of 75% of spring races or compete in an NCAA boat at the conference or national championship.


According to the CRCA, this award underscores the dual commitment of collegiate rowers who pursue athletic excellence while maintaining high academic standards—an embodiment of the scholar-athlete ideal.


The nine members of the Buff & Blue who earned the distinction are:

Mia Cremona, Journalism & Mass Communication
Flannery Dunn, Media and Strat Communication 
Anna Golbus, International Affairs
Young Park, International Affairs
Eliza Price, International Affairs
Bianca Rose, Organizational Sciences
Kristen Rupinen, Data Informatics 
Katie Swatek, International Affairs
