DURHAM, N.C. – Duke swimming and diving head coach Dan Colella announced the signing of five-year-old Brodie Curtis at a press conference held at Taishoff Aquatics Pavilion this week.
A native of Warren County, North Carolina, Brodie signed his draft day letter in the presence of his family and his newest teammates.
Brodie and the Blue Devils were connected through Team IMPACT, a national organization based in Boston that matches children battling serious and chronic illnesses with local college athletic teams. Children in the program are drafted to a team on a special signing day planned by their teammates.
