DURHAM, N.C. – In his second year at the helm, Duke rowing head coach Adrian Spracklen announced the program's 2026 spring schedule Friday afternoon.
The Blue Devils open the spring slate March 14, traveling to Oak Ridge, Tenn., to compete in the 14th annual Oak Ridge Cardinal Invitational on Melton Hill Lake. Duke heads back to Oak Ridge a few weeks later for two days of racing in the Rocky Top Invitational, hosted by Tennessee, April 3-4.
Duke then heads to the Sunshine State for the Orlando Invitational April 17-18. The Blue Devils are set to go up against tough competition in Alabama, Clemson, Miami, Penn, SMU and host UCF on Lake Pickett.
Closing out the month of April, the Blue Devils return home to co-host the Lake Wheeler Invitational with North Carolina April 24-25. Last season, Duke secured a second-place finish with 82 points in the team standings.
The 2026 ACC Rowing Championships return to Lake Wheeler May 15-16. A year ago, the Blue Devils claimed fifth place after advancing four of five boats to grand final races. Strong individual performances from Lena Mills and Chloe Zollman earned the duo All-ACC honors as Mills was named to the third team and Zollman was tabbed to the second team.
Following the ACC Championships, the Blue Devils look to earn a bid to the 2026 NCAA Championships held May 29-31 at Lake Lanier Olympic Park in Gainesville, Ga.
The senior trio of Nora Conaty, Grace Matos and Zollman were selected to lead the team as captains for the 2026 campaign. All three Blue Devils were voted captains for the first time in their careers.
