Alison Cox ’01 (BA)<\/h5>\nWomen’s Rowing<\/h6>\n
Alison Cox started her rowing career as a walk-on at the University of San Diego and developed into one of the most successful Torero athletes ever, becoming the first and only women’s rower in USD history to earn All-America honors when she was named Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) second-team All-America as a senior in 2001.<\/p>\n
Cox earned All-West Coast Conference honors in 1999, 2000 and 2001, becoming the first Torero rower to garner three career All-WCC nods. She also took home a trio of WCC Most Valuable Oarswoman awards, in addition to being selected to the CRCA Division I All-Region first team in 2001.<\/p>\n
In 2000, Cox was a member of the United States’ Under-23 rowing team and, upon graduating in 2001, joined the U.S. senior rowing squad, where she helped the women’s eight claim gold at the 2002 World Championships; multiple World Cup gold medals; and a silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.<\/p>\n
Following the Olympics, Cox took a hiatus from formal competition before rejoining the U.S. team in 2010, where she won a bronze medal at the 2010 World Championships. Altogether, Cox was a six-time member of the U.S. women’s rowing squad, winning 11 gold medals in various national and international competitions.<\/p>\n
Cox, a native of Turlock, Calif., graduated in 2001 with a BA in communication studies and a minor in business administration. While currently living in New York, Cox has parlayed her education into a variety of marketing, consulting and philanthropic positions. She also is currently a member of a variety of committees focused on expanding the sport of rowing – including the U.S. Olympians Association, the National Rowing Foundation Board of Directors, Row New York and RestoreOurShore.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Honoree Video Chet and Marguerite Pagni Family Athletic Hall of Fame Alison Cox ’01 (BA) Women’s Rowing Alison Cox started her rowing career as a walk-on at the University of San Diego and developed into one of the most successful Torero athletes ever, becoming the first and only women’s rower in USD history to earn…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"parent":229,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-370","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=370"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1411,"href":"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/370\/revisions\/1411"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Line\"](\"https:\/\/marketing.sandiego.edu\/alumnihonors21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/11\/AH_2021_Web_1350px.png\" "\\"Line\\"")
