UVA senior Heidi Long (Buckinghamshire, England) was named Pocock Second-Team All-America, while Anna Fairs (Thorpe Thewles, England) and Izzi Weiss (Chicago, Ill.) earned honorable mention honors.

Rowing in the 7-seat of UVA’s Varsity Eight, Long led the Cavaliers to their 10th consecutive ACC championship and 19th overall in the 20 years of the event. Long helped UVA’s V8 to a 12th-place finish at this year’s NCAA Championships as the Cavaliers finished 10th nationally as a team. Long earned first-team All-America honors in 2017-18.

Fairs and Weiss were also part of UVA’s Varsity Eight in 2018-19. Fairs and Weiss joined Long on the All-ACC first team. UVA’s Varsity Eight was named ACC Crew of the Year.
