CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Stanford’s Carolyn Kennedy has been named the 2026 Atlantic Coast Conference Rowing Scholar-Athlete of the Year and headlines the All-ACC Academic Team announced on Monday, June 29.

Kennedy was the coxswain on Stanford’s Second Varsity Eight that claimed its fourth straight national championship at the 2026 NCAA Rowing Championships in May, helping secure the Cardinal’s runner-up finish in the team standings. The Hingham, Massachusetts, native also led the 2V8 to the conference title at the ACC Championship, guiding Stanford to its second straight league championship.

An International Relations major, Kennedy was named one of the 19 Stanford rowers named to the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar Athlete list.

A total of 309 student-athletes were named to this year’s Rowing All-ACC Academic Team, with 25 student-athletes recognized on the team for a fourth time in their respective careers. All 12 ACC schools were represented in the 2026 edition, with Duke leading the way with 33 honorees. Notre Dame (32), North Carolina (31) and Louisville (30) all placed 30 or more student-athletes on this year’s list.

Of the 27 All-ACC honorees, 20 earned a spot on the All-ACC Academic Team, including seven first-team selections.

Academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team include a minimum 3.0 grade point average for the previous two semesters and a 3.0 cumulative GPA for one’s academic career, along with being enrolled at the institution for at least one year and classified as an undergraduate student.
