]The Alaska Nanooks led the Central Collegiate Ski Association's All-Conference selections with five overall, including first team honoree and freshman Michael Fehrenbach (Saint Märgen, Germany / Mechanical Engineering).
A quartet of Nanooks garnered second-team spots as seniors Lex Treinen (Anchorage, Alaska/Northern Studies) and Tyler Kornfield (Anchorage, Alaska/Mechanical Engineering), junior Max Olex (Aalen, Germany/Northern Studies) and sophomore Jonas Löffler (Saint Märgen, Germany/Business) earned all-conference honors.
Fehrenbach was the top Central Region finisher in the men's 30K classic event at the U.S. Nationals on Jan. 6 and has recorded five top-10 finishes since then.
Among the second-team selections, Kornfield and Löffler have each won a CCSA race this season, while Treinen and Olex have been consistent contributors with several top-10 finishes apiece.
Northern Michigan's Erik Soderman, George Cartwright and Chris Bowler; St. Scholastica's Jeremy Hecker joined Fehrenbach on the first team and Michigan Tech's Luke Gesior was the only non-Alaska skier represented on the second team.
