Duke University Men's Rowing

🥁🥁🥁 “You earn your trophies at practice. You just pick them up at competitions.”

Over the course of its history, DCR has had a lot of proud moments. In 1978, DCR sparked the founding of Duke Sports Clubs. In 1992, DCR alumni medaled at the Summer Rowing Olympics in a coxed pair. Over the years DCR has traveled across the US for competitions and training. DCR alumni continue to be incredible long after they part with the university.

But those big wins aren’t all that DCR celebrates. Most times, it’s what everyone else doesn’t see. It’s all the 5 am alarms. Washing the boats in the icy winter. The good 2Ks. The bad 2Ks. All the calluses and blisters and sweat and the rain.

DCR went coed in 2020, and today we mark a new achievement with our women placing at one of the largest regattas in the South. This medal was a long time coming.

So let’s celebrate our Women’s 4+ for showing up for the small wins and arriving 3rd in SIRAs 2026 A Finals!!! 🥉🎉🎉

Rowers assemble for….SIRAs 2026!! Thank you Oak Ridge for the laughs, the sunshine and all the racing! Can’t wait for next year! 📣

Spring cleaning calls for reflection. As a team we are bringing forward the strength, commitment and community we built during winter training into the 2K racing season. Erg splits dropped, friendships formed and new members joined. We can’t wait for what’s to come. Shoutout to our alumni for coming to Duke in January! 💙🚣‍♀️
