Additionally, Oregon State has announced its team award winners for the season.
Robinson was named the team’s Athlete of the Year. She was part of the Beavers’ Varsity 8 that finished 14th at nationals, as well as the boat that placed fourth at Pac-12 Championships.
Smeins earned the Suzanne Wilkens Award, which honors the team’s Most Inspirational athlete. She joined Robinson in the Varsity 8 for both postseason events.
The Most Improved Experienced award went to Clemens, who was an important piece in Oregon State’s Varsity 8 this season after rowing in the 2V8 last year. The Most Improved Novice honor went to Evan Park, who rowed with the 3V8 at Pac-12 Championships.
