Victoria Duke '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello! My name is Victoria Duke, and I am a first-year coxswain with a background in competitive tennis. Standing at 5'1", I recognized that my stature, which posed challenges in tennis, is a significant asset in rowing. Transitioning to the coxswain seat has been a natural fit, allowing me to leverage my leadership skills, strategic mindset, and passion for team dynamics.

My experience in tennis instilled in me discipline, quick decision-making, and resilience—qualities that seamlessly translate to coxing. As a coxswain, I am committed to guiding my crew with precision, fostering unity, and pushing for excellence both on and off the water.

I am eager to continue developing my skills and contribute to a collegiate rowing program that values dedication, teamwork, and continuous improvement. I look forward to the opportunity to grow as a student-athlete and make a meaningful impact on and off the water.
