School-Record Eight Rowers Named to All-ACC Academic Team
DURHAM, N.C. – A school-record eight Duke rowers were named to the All-ACC Academic Rowing Team, including two-time CRCA All-America Alex Japhet, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Wednesday.
Japhet, a senior Psychology major who has appeared on the All-ACC Academic Team for three straight years, was joined by junior teammates Tori Arendt, Joline Doedens and Rory Erickson-Kulas, and sophomore teammates Sarah Baker, Katie Burke, Justine Hong and Emily Theys.
Duke, ranked No. 24 in the final CRCA National Coaches Poll, had the second most selections to the All-ACC Academic Rowing Team, trailing only Boston College’s 11 honorees. Clemson followed with six selections, and NCAA Champion Virginia placed five on the team. North Carolina placed three student-athletes on the team, and Miami landed two.
Japhet and Erickson-Kulas were both named to the All-ACC team this year after leading Duke’s Varsity Eight to a season-ending upset over No. 20 Notre Dame, No. 25 Louisville and Oklahoma at the Oak Ridge Invitational and a sub-seven minute, third-place performance at the ACC Championship. Theys, Hong and Burke also competed in that boat, while Doedens, Baker and Arendt were fixtures of the 2V8 all season.
Arendt, Burke, Doedens, Erickson-Kulas, Hong and Theys also appeared on the CRCA Scholar-Athlete Team, which honors collegiate rowers who have at least sophomore status and maintain a GPA of at least 3.5 while competing in at least 75 percent of their team’s spring season.

Duke Rowing Adds Two More to 2011 Incoming Class
DURHAM, N.C. - Duke recruiting coordinator Jim Lister announced Thursday the signing of two additional rowers to the class of 2015. Tara Dalton and Claire Vannelli are the newest of nine members joining the Blue Devils for the 2011-2012 season.
"We are very excited to have Tara and Claire join our team," said head coach Robyn Horner. "They will have an immediate impact on our boat speed and they both posses the level of maturity to be successful collegiate athletes."
Vannelli, a native of London, Ontario, Canada, has compiled a stack of accomplishments in her young career, include representing Canada at the CanAmMex Regatta, finishing third at Henley in the single and taking first in the single at the National Rowing Championships of Canada in September.
"Claire is a natural rower," said Lister. "She has quickly learned how to move well in a boat to make it really fast, she has shown this throughout the year racing and we look forward to her continued success."
Dalton is a 5-10 athlete from The Woodlands, Texas. Last weekend she placed second in the Texas State Championships in the Women's 2x and earlier this year she placed first at the Erg Rodeo in Austin, Texas.
"Tara is a program changing rower," said Lister. "She is the fastest athlete at her program and builds up the rowers around her through her leadership as captain. We look forward to her bringing all her tangibles and intangibles to the Duke team."
Early decision candidates of the Class of 2015 include:
Brielle Batesko: Mercer Rowing Club
Sophia Blair: Radnor Crew
Alex Enzor: Connecticut Boat Club
Patricia Kolman: Mercer Rowing Club

Great racing shots from shore. The race course is so close to the shore that you are practically standing one lane over from the racing. We had great support from parents and family. We also enjoyed the giant cookie....see pics!
