DATE: May 26, 2005

ANN ARBOR, MI -- University of Delaware women's rowing standouts Lane Kohl (far right) and Laura Beaufort (near right) have been named National Scholar-Athletes by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association.

Kohl, a junior exercise physiology major from Mohnton, PA (Governor Mifflin HS), and Beaufort, a sophomore computer science and political science major from Washington, DC (Woodrow Wilson HS), were among 142 student-athletes from 49 Division I schools honored for their efforts during the 2004-05 season.

To be eligible, student-athletes must carry a 3.5 or better grade point index and compete at least 75 percent of their team's Varsity Eights races this past spring.

Kohl, who was named to the team for the second straight year, competed in all seven Varsity Eights races for the Blue Hens this spring, leading the group to a second place finish at the Colonial Athletic Association championships and second place finishes in dual competitions at Barry University and the University of North Carolina. She carries a 3.823 grade point index as a exercise physiology major with a minor in strength and conditioning.

Beaufort also competed in all seven Varsity Eights races for the Blue Hens this spring, leading the group to a second place finish at the Colonial Athletic Association championships and second place finishes in dual competitions at Barry University and the University of North Carolina. As a freshman in 2004, she helped the Delaware Novice Eights boat capture the CAA title in that event. She carries a 3.635 grade point index as a computer science and political science major with a minor in history.

Among the 142 honored student-athletes, 36 came from the Central Region, 28 from New England, 28 from the South, 25 from the West, and 25 from the Mid-Atlantic. Delaware, which competes as part of the Mid-Atlantic Region, was one of just eight teams in the region to have a player selected to the team.
