CHARLOTTESVILLE – Virginia’s Jennifer Cromwell is the Atlantic Coast Conference Rowing Scholar-Athlete of the Year and eight Cavaliers are members of the All-ACC Academic Rowing Team, the conference announced Thursday (July 8).

Cromwell, a senior from Bellevue, Wash., who majored in Spanish, is a three-time first-team Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) All-America selection. In 2010 the Cavaliers won their first-ever NCAA team title, and Cromwell was a member of the Varsity Eight that finished second in the NCAA grand final.

Cromwell was a co-captain this season and was named to the all-south region first team by the CRCA for the third-consecutive year.

The 2007 ACC Freshman of the Year, Cromwell is a two-time All-ACC selection and was part of the ACC Crew of the Year (Varsity Eight) three times during her career.

To be nominated for the All-ACC Academic team, student-athletes must have recorded a minimum of a 3.0 grade point average in the second semester and have maintained a 3.0 cumulative GPA at their respective schools.

Nelson (Sr., Kansas City, Mo.) was a repeat selection as a CRCA National Scholar-Athlete in 2010. A member of the Varsity Eight for the entire spring season, Nelson was a silver medalist at NCAAs and was a member of the crew that won the South/Central Regional and ACC Championships.

Phillips (Sr., Arlington, Va.) was a 2010 CRCA National Scholar-Athlete as well as an All-ACC selection. She rowed with the Varsity Eight that finished second at NCAAs and won the South/Central Regional and ACC Championships.
