Galloway, N.J. – Four Stockton University rowers qualified for CRCA Scholar-Athlete Awards from the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association. Lexi Kripetz (Clinton/Voorhees), Leilani Moreno (Egg Harbor Twp./EHT), Sydney Rowand (Barrington/Haddon Hts.) and Reese Weirick (Malvern, Pa./Great Valley) were the Stockton honorees.
 
To qualify for a CRCA Scholar-Athlete Award, rowers must be a sophomore or higher with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.50 who raced in 75 percent or more of the team's competitions or raced in an NCAA boat at the conference championship.
 
Moreno was the coxswain for the Stockton varsity eight, in which Rowand and Kripetz were cornerstones. Weirick started the season in the second varsity eight and later moved up to the varsity eight.
 
Moreno, a senior, and juniors Kripetz, Weirick and Rowand all were members of the Stockton varsity eight that captured the bronze medal at the season-ending Dad Vail Regatta. Rowand also was an All-MARC Second Team selection this spring.
