Tasaki wins big honors.

The Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association honored Katie Tasaki of women’s crew as a 2005 National Scholar Athlete. She was among 25 recipients of the award from the Western Region and one of only nine WCC student-athletes to be chosen.

The award recognizes second-, third-, and fourth-year student-athletes who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher while also competing in at least 75 percent of her team’s races during the 2005 spring season.
