PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland seniors Melanie Martinell and Lauren Reid and junior Acacia Welsford landed on the West Coast Conference Women's Rowing All-Academic Team, while five other Pilots rowers earned honorable mention. This is the second straight year on the conference all-academic team for Martinell, Reid and Welsford.
All three rowed on Portland's varsity eight boat, and Reid was named to the All-WCC Team at the league championships earlier this month. The crew finished fourth in their event at the WCC's, helping the Pilots to an overall fourth-place finish. Previously the varsity eight won the Cal Cup at the San Diego Crew Classic and placed on top of the field at the Husky Open.
