Ivy Champion Rowing Team Adds Scholar-Athlete Honors To All-Ivy/All-Region Awards
June 12, 2018 | Women's Rowing - Open
The Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association announced that all-conference honors would replace the all-region awards this spring. Six Tigers received those honors, including first-team selections Claire Collins, Kate Elfers, Emily Kallfelz, and Ellie Sawyer, each of whom are returning members of the Princeton 1V, which followed up its Ivy League title by improving its NCAA seed to finish fifth at the national championships. Seniors Melissa Curtis and Isabella Nappa, both of whom helped the 2V win Princeton's first Ivy gold since 2012, earned second-team All-Ivy League honors.
