Dietrick, Karpowicz, and Olson lauded at annual 'Cuse Awards

SU rowing was well-represented among winners of the annual 'Cuse awards held earlier this week at the Schine Center, with Mike Dietrick nominated for Male Athlete of the Year, and the men's crew nominated for Men's Team of the Year.


Senior Mike Dietrick also received the Doris Soladay award for excellence in academics, athletics, leadership, and service.  Here's the write-up from the SU Athletics report on Mike:


"Dietrick rowed in the Varsity eight for three seasons after walking on to the team as a freshman. In 2011 Dietrick helped the varsity boat to the Grand Final at the Eastern Sprints, as well helping SU to its first IRA Grand Final appearance in 30 years. Dietrick is an active member of the community, serving as tutor to accounting students, as well as donating more than 25 hours of help to Meals on Wheels in Syracuse. In the classroom, Dietrick earned his undergraduate degree from the Whitman School of Management in three years and will complete his master’s degree in accounting upon graduation this May."
