DURHAM, N.C. – Brian McPartland, a 2015 Duke graduate, was a member of the Blue Devil women’s basketball scout team during his time in Durham.
McPartland inspired numerous Duke student-athletes while he battles daily with cystic fibrosis, a disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system due to the inability to move chloride correctly throughout the body.
Former women’s basketball student-athlete Jenna Frush and rising senior football offensive guard Lucas Patrick both recently spoke with Blue Devil Network about the impact McPartland had on the two programs.
