Duke 3V8 Named ACC Crew of the Week
3/9/2022 4:15:00 PM | Rowing
DURHAM – The No. 14 Duke rowing team collected its first weekly honor of the season as the Third Varsity Eight (3V8) was named the ACC Crew of the Week on Wednesday.
The 3V8 turned in a dominant performance to get the Blue Devils started at the Carolina Cup in Clemson, S.C., on Saturday. Coxed by junior Nikita Suri, the young lineup of freshman Jane Atkeson (stroke), freshman Natalie Ashton, freshman Hannah Steven, graduate student Sydney Cikovic, sophomore Paige Knudsen, freshman Noelle Fuchs, junior Haley Dion and junior Alice Elworthy (junior) recorded a time of 6:48.7, nearly 30 seconds faster than the Tigers (7:16.2). Duke followed that momentum with four more head-to-head wins to sweep the regatta and claim its sixth consecutive Daughtry Cup.
The honor marks Duke's first ACC Crew of the Week recognition since April 28, 2021, when the Varsity Eight grinded out a victory at the Lake Wheeler Invitational in Raleigh, N.C.
The Blue Devils are next in action March 19-20, when they travel to Oak Ridge, Tenn., for the Oak Ridge Invite. For more information on Duke rowing, follow the Blue Devils on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook by searching 'DukeROW.'
