ICSA Women's Team Race National Championship

It was a great day of team racing on the Charles. PRO, Kyle Assad, did an excellent job keeping the races running. He had help from Jared Reineck, Oaklin Keefe, and Allie Keenan. Matt Lindblad kept the marks in the right spots, which was tricky with shifts from south to WSW. We had a fantastic group of umpires led by John Pratt. Joining John on the water were: Fran Charles, Rick Meyer, Tom Duggan, Kyle Welch, Trevor Long, Zack Shapiro, John Pierce, Miranda Bakos, Doc Sullivan, David Larson, Gabby Rizika, Hannah Steadman, Nick Cromwell and Ward Cromwell. We are very grateful to all the umpires. We are very lucky to have such an incredible group of people dedicating their time to college sailing.

After two days of amazing team racing the Stanford Cardinal were crowned National Champions! They only lost one race! Congratulations to runner-up Yale, who claimed the Ivy League Championship. The conditions on the Charles today were great with wind from the east at 4 to 9 kts. Kyle Assad and Jared Reineck did a great job running the races. Matt Lindblad manned the finish boat with help from Xavier Ayala-Vermont '27 and Noah Robitshek from BU. We had an awesome crew of Umpires led by John Pratt. They are: Fran Charles, Miranda Bakos, Trevor Long, Rick Meyers, Tom Duggan, Kyle Welch, Bob Austin LaFrance, Gabby Rizika, Hannah Steadman, David Larson, Ward Cromwell, Nick Cromwell, Zack Shapiro, Doc Sullivan, John Pearce. Many thanks to Amanda Callahan for representing ICSA and keeping things running smoothly. We would also like to thank the MIT Staff for all their help, Hannah Agate, Stew Craig and Dan Nickerson. Many members of the Harvard Team dedicated a lot of time in preparing for and executing the championship.
