BOSTON - Senior Cheryl Copson earned All-New England First Team honors for the Boston University women's rowing team, while junior Katrina Lyter was named a National Scholar-Athlete for the second consecutive year, the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) announced Tuesday afternoon.
A CAA All-Conference honoree, Copson sat in the stroke seat on the varsity eight boat during the spring season and helped BU finish second at the CAA Championship and third at the Eastern Sprints. Besides claiming a medal at both events, she helped the Terriers capture the Kittell Cup against Syracuse and their first Council Cup victory against Northeastern since 2005.
Enrolled in the School of Management, Lyter is majoring in business administration. She rowed on the second varsity eight boat this spring, finishing third at the CAAs and ninth at the Eastern Sprints.
