SAN BRUNO, Calif. – For the third straight year, Portland seniors Maggie Keller, Kelsey Kincaid and Molly Templin landed on the West Coast Conference Women's Rowing All-Academic Team, which was announced on Wednesday. The trio is part of 12 Portland rowers to nab league all-academic recognition for 2015-16 as nine Pilots earned honorable mention.
Keller, Kincaid and Templin are all part of Portland's varsity eight crew, which is fresh off of the WCC Championships where the Pilots placed fourth overall. Keller is a nursing major with a GPA of 3.65, while Kincaid, a coxswain, boats a 3.87 GPA and is majoring in psychology. Templin is a biology major and has a GPA of 3.88.
Earning all-academic honorable mention for the Pilots are Elizabeth Ankeney, Casey Daley, Kristen Garcia, Maddie Goodwin, Lauren Jesse, Melanie Martinell, Lauren Reid, Courtney Schmidt and Bridget Sloat.
At the conclusion of each athletic season, the WCC selects an all-academic squad for each WCC-sponsored sport. To be considered, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, while also being a significant contributor to her team. No fewer than 76 WCC student-athletes met the academic criteria for women's rowing.
