Batchev Earns CoSIDA Academic All-District Honor
May 22, 2020 | Rowing
NORMAN – Oklahoma rower Andrea Batchev was one of 88 NCAA Division I student-athletes named to a CoSIDA Academic All-District Women's At-Large Team, the organization announced Thursday.
Batchev is one of 11 athletes selected to the District 7 team, consisting of schools located in Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. She was one of just five Division I rowers to earn the honor in any district.
With the honor, Batchev advances to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot. Academic All-America honorees will be announced June 16-19.
A May graduate, Batchev earned her degree in chemical biosciences, while recording an impressive cumulative GPA of 3.94. While at OU she's been named to the President's Honor Roll (4.0 semester GPA) seven times and the Dean's Honor Roll (3.50 - 3.99 semester GPA) twice. Batchev is a four-time Academic All-Big 12 honoree.
On the water, Batchev has been a contributor from early in her Sooner career. She was named the Novice team MVP in 2015-16 after competing in the 2V8 that took second place in the Grand Finals of the Big 12 Championship, among several other successful appearances.
In 2017, the Rockwood, Mich., native rowed in the three seat for the Sooners' 1V8 boat that finished second at the Big 12 Championship before moving to the stroke seat of the same boat in 2018, which also took second at the 2018 Big 12 Championship.
Batchev is the eighth OU rower to earn the Academic All-District honor since the Sooners began rowing in 2009. She looks to become the second to claim CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, after Marissa Beene earned the accolade in 2016.
With her rowing career coming to a close, Batchev plans to further her education, entering OU's MD/PhD program.
