Beuke gets All-American nod
The University Washington women’s rowing team’s postseason success continued last week as four Huskies earned Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association first-team All-American honors — including Sequim High grad Elise Beuke — and Yasmin Farooq was named Division I National Coach of the Year, the association announced.
Beuke joined Katy Gillingham, Brooke Pierson and Karle Pitt-singer — all underclassmen from Washington — in earning All-America status.
Beuke, a sophomore, rowed in the seven seat in the Huskies’ varsity eight. As a freshman in 2016, she earned a third-place finish at NCAAs as part of the UW’s second eight.
Beuke, Pierson and Pittsinger — as well as junior Jessica Thoennes — are competing at the U.S. National Team Under-23 Selection Camp this month.
