PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Head Coach John Murphy was announced as the Co-CRCA District 1 Coach of the Year, and four Bears earned CRCA All-America honors from the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association.

Dahlia Levine and Bisbee Scott earned First Team honors with Emily Jaudon picking up Second Team accolades and Olivia Vavasour grabbing Honorable Mention honors.

For Murphy, it marks his sixth CRCA Regional Coach of the Year award and first since 2015. He picked up CRCA honors in 2000, 2002, 2008, 2014, and 2015. He earned the year-end honor with Princeton head coach Lori Dauphiny.

The Bears finished sixth at the 2024 NCAA Championships after a second-place finish at the 2024 Ivy League Championships. Additionally, Brown won its third consecutive Eastern Sprints title and 13th Sprints title since 1990.

Levine rowed in the two-seat of the Varsity 8 for the entire spring season and helped the crew take fifth at the NCAA Championships and first at the Eastern Sprints. The senior earned First Team All-America honors a season ago in addition to back-to-back First Team All-Ivy honors.

Scott stroked the Second Varsity 8 at the NCAA Championships and helped the crew finish eighth overall. The senior spent most of the season with the Varsity 8 and earns All-America honors for the first time in her career.

Jaudon adds to her collection after picking up Second Team All-Ivy honors earlier this spring. The senior earned Second Team All-America honors for the second straight season after spending the entire spring with the Varsity 8.

Vavasour rounds out the All-Americans with Honorable Mention accolades. The Saratoga Springs, New York native picks up the national honors for the first time in her career. Vavasour helped the Varsity 8 finish fifth at the NCAA Championships after spending most of the spring with the Second Varsity 8.

In addition to the athletic honors, 18 Bears earned CRCA Scholar-Athlete honors. The 18 selections are tied for the second-most in the nation alongside Eastern Michigan and Michigan State. Columbia led the nation with 19 selections.
