21 Eph Rowers Earn Emapacher Bootswerft Intercollegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar Athlete Honors

WILLIAMSTOWN, MASS. -- The Intercollegiate Rowing Coaches Association (IRCA) is excited to announce the 2025 Empacher-IRCA Scholar Athletes. We are proud to offer our congratulations to these rowers and coxswains who have demonstrated what it truly means to be a "student-athlete". We'd also like to thank Empacher Bootswerft for their continued partnership as our official awards sponsor.
In order to be named a "scholar athlete", rowers and coxswains must have met the following criteria:

Athletes from all IRCA Member Schools are eligible
Athletes must be in their second year or more of eligibility
Athletes must have competed in their program's top 3 boats during the current season or raced at the 2022 IRA Championship.
Athletes must have, at least, a 3.50 cumulative GPA through fall semester.
As America's oldest intercollegiate sport, the IRCA is part of a legacy that extends back over 160 years. It is our responsibility as stewards of men's rowing to promote the coaching profession and enhance the collegiate student-athlete experience.
In 2024 the Eph head coach Marc Mandel had 18 rowers honored.
This year the Ephs finished third at the IRCA Championship and 21 Ephs have earned academic distinction.
