Former Coupeville soccer standout Erin Rosenkranz continues to win awards, but these days most of them come in the world of academics.
The CHS grad was honored Friday by Western Washington University, named as the school’s 2020 Outstanding Biochemistry Student.
The award is named for Professor Sea Bong Chang, who taught at Western from 1964-1972.
Rosenkranz, who competed in soccer and track and field for the Wolves, is working towards her Masters in Biochemistry.
During her high school days, Erin was a top-notch student and a stellar athlete, one who earned enshrinement in the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame.
She is joined in the digital shrine by mom Kerry (McCormick) Rosenkranz, a top CHS cross country runner in the ’80s, and dad Scott, one of the soccer coaches who fueled a boom in the sport on Whidbey Island.
Balancing two soccer teams, as she also played for the Whidbey Islanders select squad, Erin Rosenkranz was a First-Team All-League pick during her senior season at CHS.
She also took home the team MVP award that year.
