Thirty-six student-athletes earned 2007-2008 USRowing Scholastic Honor Roll honors and 40 student-athletes earned honorable mention scholastic honor roll accolades, the organization announced on Friday.

 

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 17th 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, 185 student-athletes from 85 rowing clubs and schools from around the country applied for the 2007-2008 USRowing Scholastic Honor Roll.
