Grace Garverick Reflects on Shortened 2020 Season

DURHAM, N.C. -- The Duke Rowing spring season ended abruptly on March 12, as the spread of COVID-19 caused the university to suspend all athletic activities. With heightened expectations coming off of a silver-medal showing at last year's ACC Championship, the program on the rise had to come to terms with the reality that this team, with all 47 of its current members, would likely not row together again. After over two months of being at home in Sacramento, Calif., away from her teammates, senior team captain Grace Garverick took time to reflect on the lost season.
