Lucy leads the way.
The Great Northwest Athletic Conference tabbed Seattle Pacific University’s Varsity +4 boat as its Crew of the Week Monday, the third time a Falcon rowing shell has been honored this season.
The women being hailed this time around include Coupeville grad Lucy Sandahl, who is the coxswain for the Falcon V4+ squad.
She and teammates Megan Popielak, Anna Boatman, Megan Rouse, and Bella Lisenby were honored for their performance at this past weekend’s Windermere Cup.
That event, which kicks off boating season in Washington state, went down on the Montlake Cut in Seattle and was hosted by the University of Washington.
Sandahl and her group rank first in the NCAA West Region standings heading into the GNAC Championships May 12-13 in Oregon.
A 2020 graduate from Coupeville High School, Lucy, whose older sister Sophie also rows for SPU, was a standout volleyball and track and field athlete during her days as a Wolf.
