STANFORD, Calif. -- The Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) has recognized five Stanford rowers as CRCA First-Team All-Americans, the organization announced Friday.
Ella Casano, Matilda Drewett, Nora Goodwillie, Annika Jeffery and Quincy Stone each earned first-team All-America honors. It marks the fifth time in program history and fourth consecutive season that Stanford has placed five rowers on the first team.
Drewett became a two-time All-American with this year's honor, while Casano, Goodwillie, Jeffery and Stone were honored for the first time.
All five rowed in Stanford’s varsity eight, which finished as the national runner-up and was named the ACC Crew of the Year for the second straight season following its performance at the conference championship.
Stanford's 2026 season continued the legacy of excellence built by the Cardinal over the past decade, winning its fifth consecutive conference title and second straight Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) team crown while posting a sixth straight top-two finish at the national championships. Farwell Family Director of Women’s Rowing Derek Byrnes was named conference coach of the year for the fifth consecutive season.
To meet the criteria for an All-America selection, a student-athlete must meet all eligibility rules as defined by her institution while having rowed in at least 75 percent of the season's races in the varsity eight boat. Boat performance, nomination rank, coach's comments, individual achievements, and 2,000-meter erg scores are also considered.
