BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana rowing graduate student Annabel Oertel is the program's third first-team All-American as the CRCA announced its postseason awards on Friday (June 6).
Oertel is now a two-time All-American, improving upon her 2024 honorable mention honors a year ago. The Berlin, Germany, native joins Meradith Dickensheets (2014, 2015) and Abigail Bogovich (2019) as the only Hoosiers to earn first-team selections.
Indiana has produced five All-America awards in the last four seasons.
Oertel led Indiana's Varsity Eight crew to the boat's best-ever finish at an NCAA Championships, placing ninth nationally. As a team, IU finished No. 14 – the program's best finish since 2019. Oertel also earned first-team All-Big Ten honors.
