PULLMAN, Wash. (June 26, 2024) – Washington State Rowing had four named College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District on Tuesday.
Fifth-Year senior Eliza Dawson, seniors Ainsley Tiernan and Sydney Wick, and junior Izabela Janecek all earned the honor. Dawson will advance as a finalist on the CSC Academic All-America ballot.

Wick also appeared in 10 races for WSU and stroked the 1V8, helping the boat to two first-place finishes and three second-place finishes during the year. She was named a 2024 CRCA Scholar-Athlete as well.
