HADLEY, MA — The New England Small College Athletic Conference recently released its 2010-11 All-Conference selections for men's crew, with six members of the Williams program earning honors and head coach Peter Wells being selected as Coach of the Year by his peers.
The NESCAC champion Ephs had four representatives on the All-Conference First Team, with senior coxswain Michael Abrams (Merion Station, Pa.) earning recognition for the second-straight year. Also from the Ephs on the First Team were senior Jack Wadden (Evanston, Ill.) junior Theo Patsalos-Fox (Bernardsville, N.J.), and sophomore John Gorman (North Hampton, N.H.).
In addition, seniors Leland Brewster (Lake Forest, Ill.) and Nathaniel Lim (Arlington, MA) earned All-Conference Second Team honors.
Wells was the choice among the coaches for the second consecutive spring, earning Coach of the Year. Wells was previously selected ECAC Rowing Coach of the year.
Williams won the NESCAC title for the third year in a row with a second-place showing at the ECAC-NIRC in 5:59.272, over six seconds faster than Trinity, the next NESCAC team to finish after the Ephs.
