Katherine Lustig – Duke University (Rowing)
Major: Undecided
Final list of colleges: Duke, Syracuse, Notre Dame
Reasons for choosing Duke: “It was my happy place. The academics are amazing, and the athletic support there is phenomenal. Just the sense of community – how everyone is so excited to be there together, I thought it was amazing and unique, and I wanted to be a part of it.”
What was the progression that led you to competing in rowing at the collegiate level? “I first found out about rowing when I was watching a commercial, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s really neat.’ I had a 30-minute drive radius to find a club, so I found the club I’m at right now, and I just loved it.
“At the end of my sophomore year, I got second at nationals, and basically, after that, I realized I had the potential to be able to do this in college.”
