Five UCLA Rowers Honored by CRCA
June 04, 2018 | Women's Rowing
Junior Saskia Budgett has been named an all-conference team selection by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA), as announced Monday.
In addition, UCLA has had four student-athletes secure CRCA National Scholar-Athlete recognition – senior Jasmine English, juniors Lucy Jepson and Lanea Tuiasosopo and sophomore Haley Tong.
Budgett, hailing from Lausanne, Switzerland, has rowed in the Bruins' top varsity eight crew through each of her three collegiate seasons. She was named an All-Pac-12 selection at the conclusion of her junior year, being one of 12 student-athletes named to the All-Pac-12 team.
The CRCA has replaced its previous all-region awards with the all-conference teams, set to recognize the outstanding performances of rowers and coxswains from each Division I rowing conference.
Student-athletes are eligible for the CRCA's National Scholar-Athlete awards once in their second, third or fourth years of eligibility. In addition, student-athletes must have rowed in a minimum of 75 percent of the current spring races and have compiled a 3.5 or higher cumulative grade-point average.
This marks the third CRCA National Scholar-Athlete award for English and the second for Tuiasosopo. Both Jepson and Tong have captured CRCA National Scholar-Athlete acclaim for the first time in their careers.
In addition, English was honored as one of UCLA's two Scholar-Athletes of the Year at the year-end scholar-athlete banquet on May 14. The department's two student-athletes (one male, one female) with the highest cumulative grade-point averages are honored each season as the Scholar-Athletes of the Year.
