WASHINGTON – Seven members of the Georgetown University sailing team were named to the 2017-18 All-Academic Sailing Team, announced Thursday by the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA). The All-Academic Sailing Team recognizes collegiate sailors who have achieved excellence in national and interconference competition, as well as excelling at the highest academic level for the 2017-18 academic year.
 
The honorees include Lola Bushnell, Rose Edwards, Rebecca Fung (Rye, N.Y. / Rye), Grace Hanrahan, Hannah Hess (Inverness, Ill. / Loyola Academy), Meaghan MacRae (Melrose, Mass. / Tabor Academy) and Jack Marshall.
 
The criteria for the honorees are that he or she must be a junior or senior, have at least a 3.3 cumulative GPA or higher on a 4.0 scale, and be a starter or key reserve in at least seven university sponsored regattas.
 
A seven-person committee comprised of representatives from conferences in the ICSA evaluates the nominated sailors. This year's All-Academic Team is comprised of 238 members.
 
Last season, the Hoyas finished third at the ICSA Gill Coed National Championship with a total of 195 points.
