World rowing champion and Duke University women’s rowing head coach Megan Cooke Carcagno will be the guest speaker at this year’s Celebration of Rowing banquet.
The 5th annual Celebration of Rowing banquet, hosted by the Triad United Rowing Association will take place at 6pm on Saturday, November 17, at Sedgefield Country Club.
“Coach Megan Cooke Carcagno’s life story in this sport is story of inspiration and a lesson in commitment,” says banquet Chair Jackie King. “We always look for a guest speaker who has made an impact on the international stage with a local connection. We are so honored to have her joining us to speak on this occasion.”
FROM ROWING NEWS MAGAZINE – “Megan Cooke Carcagno has, by all accounts, been successful. A member of four U.S. national teams (2004-2007), she has the world championship and World Rowing Cup medals to show for it. She was in the U.S. women’s eight that began the streak of international gold medals that has extended 11 years and counting. She has coached at all levels—junior, masters, club, collegiate—and taken her teams to their own pinnacles of success. It was no surprise, then, when she sought another level of achievement, both for herself and for the team she joined in the summer of 2015 as head coach: Duke women’s rowing.”
