JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --- Eleven members of the Jacksonville women's rowing team were named to Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar Athletes for the 2025 spring season.

The Dolphins honored were: sophomore Chloe Cooke, junior Delaney Ferguson, junior Cat Geiger-Costa, junior Anne Geurts, junior Lura Johnson, junior Sam Keough, sophomore Nyah Lam, senior Emilee Podvia, sophomore Holly Rosser, junior Kennedy Rowley and senior Mackenzie Thurlow. 

"I'm so proud of these kids for the hard work they have put into both the classroom and the water," Jacksonville head coach Mike Lane said. "They are the definition of a student-athlete."

To be named a CRCA Scholar Athlete, an athlete needs to meet select academic and athletic criteria. In the water, a rower must either row in 75% of spring races or race in an NCAA boat at the conference championships.

In the classroom, athletes needed to earn at least a 3.5 GPA through the fall semester of the academic year while meeting all league and university eligibility requirements. 

The CRCA honored 990 athletes across the country, with the class as a whole averaging an impressive 3.75 GPA.

"What our women do every day is really impressive and to be able to recognize such a large group for their accomplishments in the classroom is awesome," Lane said.
