Rowing Locations 31 On All-ACC Academic Team

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Following a speedy season on the water, North Carolina rowing landed 31 Tar Heels on the 2025-26 All-ACC Academic Rowing Team in honor of those student-athletes’ excellence within the classroom.

“We’re really proud of these guys, said head coach Erin Neppel. “It vital to the staff to crush it on and off the water, and so they do a pleasant job getting all of it executed at a really excessive stage.” 

Carolina positioned sixth on the 2026 ACC Championships at Lake Wheeler, sending three of its 5 boats to the Grand Finals. Both the V8 and the 2V8 crews went on to earn first-place finishes within the Petite Finals.

Four Tar Heels concluded their UNC careers with their fourth consecutive spot on the staff with Alix de Saint-Aignan, Carmen Sagues, Sydney Tuck and Evie Wells every doing so.
