This year's awards mark the third straight IRA All-Academic honors for Call and Koetje, while Crugnale and Smith were recognized for the second year in a row.
Call (a senior majoring in environmental engineering), Koetje (senior, exercise and sport science), and Smith (junior, mechanical engineering) finished the 2018 season racing in the Beavers' Varsity 8 at IRA Championships finishing the season ranked 19th in the nation.
