Just taking it day by day.
When R.J. Barrett and Zion Williamson picked apart N.C. State in their last full game together at Cameron Indoor Stadium, he was there.
CHAPEL HILL—Last season, Erica Shepherd cemented herself as one of the top collegiate golfers in the country, earning second-team All-America status and a No. 12 spot on Golfweek’s final individual rankings.

Pleased but not satisfied. That’s the mantra for Duke cross country coming out of the Pre-Nationals Invitational in Tallahassee, Fla.
At this point, it's almost funny.
CHAPEL HILL—For a bit there, it looked like Duke could compete with North Carolina.
CHAPEL HILL—Duke traveled eight miles down the road looking for a statement win against a talented-but-underachieving North Carolina. And through the opening 15 minutes, the Blue Devils looked like they could compete with their Tar Heel counterparts. Nevertheless, North Carolina quickly took control near the end of the first quarter and leads 24-0 entering the break. Here are five of our observations from the first half:
Dating back to the preseason, Duke head coach Angela Reckart said that Friday’s Battle in Beantown would be the team’s first big test of the year.
While incoming head coach Jon Scheyer was already impressing on the recruiting trail, Monday night's news that Dereck Lively II, the nation's top-rated 2022 center, would be joining Scheyer's inaugural class was maybe Scheyer's biggest feather in his cap.
It was natural to assume that Coach K’s retirement would put a damper on Duke’s recruiting prowess for at least the near future.

ELON, N.C.—It’s tough to have a better start to a head coaching career than Angela Reckart’s Friday night.
2020 season: 7-2, 6-1 in the Big Ten (1st in the West Division)
With the 2021 season right around the corner, The Chronicle breaks down each of the eight major position groups for the Blue Devils: Quarterbacks, running backs, receivers and tight ends, offensive line, defensive line, defensive backs, linebackers and specialists.
Angela Reckart has known she wanted to be a coach since she was a junior in college.
There’s been a lot of turnover in the Duke cross country program over the past few years. First, longtime men’s head coach (as well as the Blue Devils’ director of track and field) Norm Ogilvie retired in the summer of 2020. Then-women’s cross country head coach Rhonda Riley promptly took on Ogilvie’s role in cross country and coached both the men’s and women’s teams last season. Then, after Shawn Wilbourn took over as Duke’s new director of both track and field and cross country this past summer, he hired former North Carolina and Penn State assistant Angela Reckart to replace Riley as the new head coach of men’s and women’s cross country.
