BERKELEY – The Cal men's rowing team placed 15 student-athletes on the 2019 Pac-12 All-Academic Team that was released Tuesday, including five First Team selections.
Leading the way is 2019 Pac-12 Men's Rowing Scholar Athlete of the Year Maarten Hurkmans, who earned his second career First Team honor and third overall. Joining him on the First Team are senior Ferdinand Querfeld, who also received his third career honor, as well as sophomores George Finlyason, Nathan Richards and Jack Robertson.
