Hamilton College's Annika Benn '25 (Arlington, Mass./Arlington HS) was selected for the 2025 New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Women's Rowing All-Conference Team on Friday, May 16 when the conference announced their end-of-season awards.

Benn was one of 10 athletes on the second team. The 10-member squads are comprised of individuals from the conference's eight teams and are based on each team's finish at the NESCAC championships, which were held on May 11 at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass.

Benn rowed in the fifth seat for Hamilton's varsity eight in the 2025 NESCAC Women's Championship, which doubled as the National Invitational Rowing Championships. She was also in the fifth seat for the Continentals' top boat at the 2024 Head of the Charles Regatta on Oct. 20 when they finished 10^th out of 34 entries in the women's collegiate eights.

"Annika has worked hard to turn herself into a physical threat in the boat, and is a highly respected leader on the team," Head Coach Anna Lindgren-Streicher said. "Her development arc over the course of her four years is an inspirational model for her teammates and future Hamilton rowers."

Hamilton was ranked 12th in the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Division III Top 15 poll as of May 13, and was fourth in the final NCAA New York Region rankings.
