Schwartz Named To IRCA Athlete Watchlist
April 3, 2024 | Men's Rowing
BOSTON – Men's rowing sophomore Caleb Schwartz was one of 24 Division I student-athletes named to the IRCA's D1/D2 Heavyweight Athlete Watchlist, the organization announced on Wednesday.
Nominated by their coaches and selected by the IRCA Awards & Polling Committee, the Athlete Watchlist recognizes the top athletes across the entire landscape of men's collegiate rowing.
From U23 World Champions to future national team members and breakout athletes and coxswains from all divisions, these men and women are valued leaders in their athletic departments, trail blazers within their programs, and set the standard for performance and sportsmanship in D1/D2, D3, and lightweight men's rowing.
In his second season with the Terriers, Schwartz occupied the five seat in BU's Club 8+ "A" contingent at the 2023 Head of the Charles, placing fifth out of 36 entries.
During the 2023 spring, the Newton, Mass. native was part of the five seat in the Third Varsity 8 for most of the spring semester. During that time, Schwartz's crew finished 10th overall in a Petite Final time of 5:59.82 at the IRA National Championship Regatta. In addition, he helped BU win the Petite Final at the 2023 Eastern Sprints, and top Northeastern in a dual race in the Fourth Varsity 8 last April.
The Terriers return to action on Saturday (April 6), taking on crosstown foe Northeastern with the Arlett Cup at stake. The Varsity 8 opens the morning's schedule at 7 a.m.
