IRVING, Texas – Excelling in competition as well as the classroom, Tennessee rowing landed a program-record 29 student-athletes on the 2024 All-Big 12 Academic Team, the conference announced Tuesday.
The Lady Vols picked up 28 First Team honors, along with one Second Team recognition. First team members consist of those who have maintained a 3.20 or better GPA while the second team selections hold a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA.
To qualify, student-athletes must maintain a 3.00 GPA or higher either cumulative or the two previous semesters and must have participated in 20 percent of their team's scheduled contests.
Tennessee recorded a program-best, third-place finish at the NCAA Championships in Kim Cupini's first season at UT. Cupini would go on to be named the Division I National Coach of the Year by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA), with her coaching staff collectively earning the CRCA's Division I Staff of the Year Award.
On the season, Tennessee's 1V8+ crew accounted for a stellar 44-4 boat record. Its Second Eight crew posted a 42-6 mark, while the 1V4+ boat capped the year at 38-9. That totals a combined record of 124-19 (.867) for the Lady Vols' trio of NCAA Championship crews.
