After months of hard training and competition, the Blue Devils are finally about to face the ultimate test: the postseason. With ACC and NCAA competitions in May and June, the Blue Zone is here with a preview of the big-time meets:
Last week, Philadelphia news channels told their readers to “Expect traffic delays and shutdowns.”
After three days of new program records at Raleigh Relays, the Blue Devils traveled to High Point, N.C., Friday with different intentions.
This weekend, Duke sent three women up to The Track at New Balance in Boston to compete in the NCAA Indoor Championships. Two brand-new All-Americans — senior Brianna Smith and graduate student MaKayla Mason — returned. The two days of intense competition saw 17 events contested, with Texas Tech and Arkansas claiming the men’s and women’s team titles, respectively.
Up in Boston for the ACC Championships this weekend, Duke saw plenty of success, but it wasn’t enough for its lofty standards. The women’s team fell short of the win they seeked to repeat after last year’s outdoor ACC trophy, placing fourth instead with 64 points. The men’s team was farther back, finishing in ninth place with a total of 27 points.

The spirit was palpable.
In Friday’s ACC Cross Country Championships, junior Amina Maatoug led the Blue Devils with a spectacular second-place finish, the highest since Duke runner Juliet Bottorff won individual gold in 2013. With five ranked teams going into Friday’s race, including the winner of the previous seven ACC team titles (N.C. State), the ACC is — and always has been — one of the deepest conferences in the nation. In an event where even placing top-21 to earn all-ACC honors is a tough feat to accomplish, Maatoug went above and beyond, finishing ahead of all but one of her 143 competitors.
They say the devil is in the details. But in Durham, the Blue Devils are in the details — and numbers:
