National champion California produces four All-Americans
The Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) announced its All-America teams for the 2005 season on Thursday. The awards, presented by Pocock, recognize the outstanding accomplishments of female rowers and coxswains for the spring season. Forty-five student-athletes were honored, 20 first-team selections and 25 second-team selections. Twelve schools had multiple selections, led by California-Berkeley with four. Virginia, Ohio State, Princeton, and Yale each had three.
Thirty-three of the 45 student-athletes were participants at the NCAA Championships last weekend, including all 20 first-team selections. The national champion Golden Bears produced four first-team rowers, more than any other school.
The New England Region produced the most All-America selections with 13, including five first-team honorees. The West Region produced the most first-team selections with seven. The Central Region produced 10 All-Americans, including five on the first team. The South Region had seven All-America choices, while the Mid-Atlantic Region had four.
