HONORS & AWARDS
CELEBRATING ATHLETES
Awards are an ever-evolving tradition and we have included some new annual awards in 2024 to help celebrate more of our athletes. Athletes who compete as novices (no matter grade) earn a novice certificate. Athletes who compete as varsity team members will receive a junior varsity or varsity certificate depending on grade, as well as their varsity letter. Once athletes receive their varsity letter, in consecutive years will receive varsity pins. Students who earn a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or greater also receive a scholar athlete award certificate at the end-of-year awards ceremony (spring only).
In addition, as of 2024, coaches added additional awards for the following:
Novice of the Year
2024 Emily Malone (sophomore)
2024 Sawyer Katz (freshman) 2024
Oarsman/Oarswoman of the Year
2024 Hallie Rehl (senior)
2024 Cooper Rehl* (junior)
COACHES CUP

BETSEY & RICK KELLEY AWARD
This award was established to recognize an oustanding person or business that has made a valuable, lasting impact to the continued growth and sucess of UA Crew. The name of this award, we felt, should honor individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty when the UA Crew needed assistance, in honor of crew Grandparents, Betsy & Rick Kelley who have been steadfast examples of kindness and generosity to the team.
