Columbus, OH – After placing third overall at the 2003 Big Ten Championships, four Buckeye rowers were named to All-Big Ten teams, the conference announced Saturday.
Seniors Maxi Meissner (Schoenow, Germany/Sportschule Potsdam) and Karla Fiserova (Jindrichuv Hradec, Czech Republic/Obchodni Akademie TGM) were named to the 2003 First Team All-Big Ten, while senior Heather Feldmann (Hamilton, Ohio/Lakota West) and junior Natalie Legge (Sydney, Australia/St. George) were named to the second team.
The selection is the third conference honor for Meissner. She was named a first team all-conference honoree in 2001 and to the second team in 2002. Meissner also was a first team all-central region member in 2001, as well as a first team All-American. In 2002, she was a second team all-central region honoree.
Fiserova enjoys first team All-Big Ten honors for the second-consecutive season. She garnered Big Ten, central region and All-America honors in 2002, as she was placed on the all-conference and all-region first teams and the second team All-America.
The honor is the first all-conference team appearance for Feldmann, who is rowing in the first varsity 8 for the second season.
Legge also was named to an all-conference team for the first time. She was selected as a member of the second team All-Big Ten, for her contributions in the first 8.
