DURHAM, N.C. – Head Coach Megan Cooke Carcagno and the Duke rowing program are excited to announce the addition of Eva Wojnovich, who will compete for the Blue Devils in the 2021-22 season.
A native of Washington Crossing, Pa., Wojnovich currently competes for the Princeton National Rowing Association (PNRA) and Mercer Rowing Program. She was a member of the U19 Varsity-8 boat that took first place at the Canadian Henley in 2019, a year she also competed at the Head of the Charles Regatta, finishing 10th with the PNRA Girls Junior 8- crew. At the USRowing Youth Nationals, she helped guide her Varsity-4 boat to a fourth-place result. For her efforts in the 2018-19 season, Wojnovich was named PNRA/Mercer's Most Improved Rower.
Wojnovich also lettered in swimming for one year at Council Rock North High School. She was also a member of the distinguished honor roll her freshman, sophomore and junior years.
Eva's mother, Kristine, rowed at Georgetown from 1987-90. Her father, Kevin, played lacrosse at Hobart William Smith from 1983-84. She has two brothers, Brady and Davis.
What is your favorite rowing memory?
EW: My favorite rowing memory is winning the Girls U19 race in the V8 at Canadian Henley. It was an amazing moment with my teammates.
Why did you choose to row for Duke?
EW: When I first visited Duke, I immediately noticed how supportive and dedicated the team and coaches are on and off the water. I am excited about the rowing and academic opportunities that Duke offers and can't wait to contribute to the university.
What impact do you plan to make in your four years?
EW: I want to help the team win the NCAA Championships. I want to be a strong member of the team who supports others and inspires others to work hard.
What stuck out to you about the team in your decision making process?
EW: The team seemed so positive and tight-knit. The coaches and girls were so welcoming when I came on my visit. I could see myself as a part of the team.
What was something about Duke/Durham that surprised you?
EW: On my visit, I had the opportunity to watch a Duke basketball game. I knew Duke would have a lot of school spirit, but I was still surprised to see that every student in every row of the stadium was on their feet chanting the whole time. I love that there is so much school spirit and pride.
