DUKE NOMINATES THREE FOR TAG HEUER TROPHY

Duke has nominated three for the TAG Heuer Trophy, given to the TAG Heuer Most Valuable Athlete in the Carlyle Cup competition between Duke and UNC.

Junior Sean Kelly raced to the individual title at the ACC Men's Cross Country Championships with his time of 25:00.4. The Wickliffe, Ohio native paced the Blue Devils to the team title, Duke's first cross country championship in the league since 1977. Kelly, like the rest of his men's track and cross country teammates, is not on scholarship.

Sophomore Sheela Agrawal placed third at the ACC Women's Cross Country Championships with her time of 18:15.3, to earn All-ACC honors for the second straight season. Agrawal, a native of Swansea, Mass., led the Blue Devils to a four-place finish, the highest ever in women's cross country by a Duke team.

Freshman Jordan Cila scored his seventh goal of the season in the UNC game to give the Blue Devils a 1-0 lead at the half. While UNC rebounded for a 4-2 victory, the Jericho, New York native was the main bright spot in the game.

More nominees will be added for the winter and spring sports as the year-long competition continues between Duke and UNC.

The TAG Heuer Trophy is sponsored by TAGHeuer Watch Company, and the Carlyle Cup by Carlyle & Co. jewelers.
