DURHAM, N.C. – Head Coach Megan Cooke Carcagno and the Duke rowing program are pleased to announce the addition of Talia Brodsky, who will suit up for the Blue Devils in the 2021-22 season.
A native of Newton, Mass., Brodsky currently competes for Community Rowing, Inc. in Boston. She helped CRI's novice-8 boat place fourth at the U17 USRowing Youth National Championships in the spring of 2019, and months later she participated in the Head of the Charles Regatta.
Talia is the daughter of Alexander Brodsky and Natasha Kablaoui. She has four brothers.
How did you get started in rowing?
TB: I first started rowing because I used to go to a horseback riding camp and I wanted to take lessons outside of camp. However, my Mom said that I couldn't do that unless I played a sport, so I chose rowing and I never got my horseback riding lessons.
Why did you choose to row for Duke?
TB: When I visited, it was very easy to imagine myself at Duke and I really liked the team culture that I saw.
What impact to you plan to make in your four years?
TB: I want to do whatever I can to make the team faster and win Duke's first ACC Championship.
What did you love about Duke and Durham when you visited?
TB: The food on campus was really good. I liked the pizza place where you cut the pizza with the scissors.
