All-Americas Howe, Collins Lead Postseason Honors For Ivy Champion Princeton Open Women
June 14, 2017 | Women's Rowing - Open
Senior Georgie Howe and sophomore Claire Collins, both of whom played integral roles in leading the Princeton open women to a second straight Ivy League championship last month, were each named to the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association 2017 All-America Team. Howe, a former all-region rower and three-time first-team All-Ivy League honoree, was named to the All-America First Team, while Collins, a two-time All-Ivy League first-team honoree, was named to the second team.
The duo also comprised half of the four Princeton rowers who were named to the 2017 CRCA All-Region team. Sophomore Emily Kallfelz joined both Collins and Howe on the All-Region First Team, while senior Dagmara Lapins was named to the Second Team. Kallfelz and Collins are the only two sophomores who rowed in Princeton's Ivy champion varsity eight in both 2016 and 2017, while Howe and Lapins were the only two seniors in 2017 first varsity that went undefeated during the regular season and won the program's third Ivy League title in the last four years.
Every member of the varsity eight earned All-Ivy League First Team honors (see below), while Lori Dauphiny was named Ivy League Head Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season.
