STANFORD, Calif. – Three members of the national champion Stanford lightweight rowing program earned Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association All-America honors.
Seniors Christine Cavallo and Brianna Goldstein, and junior Shea Cours represented the Cardinal on the 10-member All-America team, the most of any program.
It was the third consecutive year the Cardinal placed three individuals on the CRCA All-America squad. Stanford has totaled 28 CRCA All-America selections dating back to the 2007 season.
Cavallo, who earned her degree in international relations, served in the three-seat of the lightweight eight. It is the second All-America honor for Cavallo, who was recognized on the 2014 CRCA All-America team as a freshman.
Goldstein, who graduated with a degree in computer science, rowed in the two-seat of the lightweight eight. The 2017 All-America honor was her first. Goldstein was also the recipient of the Pam Strathairn Award, honoring the senior female with the best competitive attitude, at the Stanford Athletic Board Awards on June 14.
For Cours, it was her second consecutive All-America selection. The junior, who is majoring in psychology, has served as the coxswain for the lightweight eight the past two years. Cours has won an IRA title in each of her first three seasons on The Farm, serving as the coxswain for the lightweight eight as a sophomore and junior and the lightweight four that captured the 2015 IRA title as a freshman.
Stanford captured its third consecutive Intercollegiate Rowing Association championship earlier this month. The Cardinal won the lightweight eight, lightweight four and lightweight double titles, en route to the team crown. Stanford has taken home the Camden County Freeholders Trophy, honoring the IRA Champion in the lightweight eight, on seven occasions. The Cardinal owns the most titles in the history of the sport.
