Four members of the IU rowing team were honored Monday by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA). Seniors Emily Barber and Emily Fekete and freshman Antonia Frappell made the all-region first team while senior Alexandra Eaton earned second team honors.
Barber makes the leap up to first team after making the second team last season. Eaton also made a second team appearance back in 2014, but these are the first all-region honors for Fekete and Frappell.
The all-region awards are given out to athletes for their outstanding performances over the course of the season in each of the five regions. These athletes will be eligible for All-America awards selection following the NCAA Rowing Championships.
Student-athletes are evaluated on the strength of their team’s regional finish, coaches’ recommendations and 2,000-meter erg score. Each nominee must have competed in at least 75 percent of the team’s varsity races this season.
