Bolles alumna Rayna Kuthiala ’20 was presented Boston University’s John B. Simpson Award during the school’s Scarlet & White Honors, an annual student-athlete awards reception, on April 22. The John B. Simpson Award, named in honor of the 1950 BU graduate who served as Director of Athletics from 1975 to 1984, is presented to one male and one female athlete on the basis of their enthusiastic senior leadership.

Kuthiala became the first member of BU’s women's lightweight rowing program to win the award. A team captain in her senior season, she coxed the Varsity 4+ boat to a bronze medal at the 2023 IRA National Championship Regatta. She earned 2023 IRA All-Academic and CRCA Scholar-Athlete recognition and graduates from BU on May 19.
