Cal Poly Humboldt’s Malia Seeley Named to 2022 Pocock Shells Division II Women’s Rowing All-America Team
Cal Poly Humboldt’s Malia Seeley was named to the 2022 Pocock Shells Division II Women’s Rowing All-America Team, selected by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA).
“I am very proud of Malia (Seeley), said Cal Poly Humboldt head women’s rowing coach Matt Weise. “Malia is an excellent athlete and student and helps lead our team to the highest of standards. This honor is well deserved.”
Seeley was selected to the Second Team and was one of nine rowers from the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) that were named to the All-America Team.
The Polson, Montana, native was a mainstay on Cal Poly Humboldt’s varsity 8+ all season and occupied the No. 3 seat for the Lumberjacks at the GNAC Championships.
Nominees for the Pocock/CRCA All-America Teams include meeting all eligibility rules as defined by the student-athlete’s institution, must have rowed in at least 75 percent of the season’s races in the varsity boat and must be nominated by the institution. The head coach must be a member of the CRCA in good standing. Additional criteria considered include boat performance, nomination rank, coach’s comments, individual achievements and 2k erg score.
Back in May, Seeley was named to the All-GNAC Team as she helped the Jacks to be ranked seventh in the final Pocock/CRCA National Poll of the 2022 season. She also earned CRCA Scholar-Athlete, GNAC Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR) Scholar-Athlete and GNAC Women’s Rowing All-Academic Team.
