Lee, Sizemore and Tierney Named 2023 Captains
2/10/2023 12:00:00 AM | Rowing
DURHAM- Duke rowing head coach Megan Cooke Carcagno has announced seniors Megan Lee, Lauren Sizemore and Caeley Tierney as team captains for the 2023 campaign.
Lee and Sizemore both served as captains last season, while Tierney is named captain for the first time in her career.
Lee, a native of Natick, Mass., enters her senior season after an outstanding 2022 campaign, earning first-team All-ACC honors and competing in seven regattas. Lee was a key member of last season's Varsity 8 lineup that claimed bronze in the V8 Grand Final at the ACC Championship and fourth in the C Final at the NCAA Championships. In 2021, Lee was named a Pocock/CRCA first-team All-American, becoming just the fourth Blue Devil in program history to earn the recognition.
Sizemore is coming off her second appearance at the NCAA Championships, joining Lee in the V8 boat that placed fourth in the C Final race with a time of 6:35.023. The same crew received ACC Crew of the Week honors last season, after sweeping three races at the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invite. Sizemore, a product of Cincinnati, Ohio, has competed in 12 regattas in three seasons and was named a 2021 CRCA Scholar-Athlete.
Tierney, hailing from Hackettstown, N.J., played a major role in the Varsity 4 lineup throughout the 2022 season. Tierney was part of the V4 boat that earned a second-place finish in the Grand Final at the ACC Championship and a third-place finish in the C Final of the NCAA Championships with a time of 6:42.825. Tierney has competed in 16 regattas over the last three seasons and earned a spot on the ACC Academic Honor Roll twice.
The Blue Devils open the 2023 season on March 4th, hosting Virginia in a scrimmage on Lake Wheeler in Raleigh, N.C.
