WAC 5th at Conference Championship
The Washington College sailing team equaled their highest finished of fifth of 18 schools at the America Trophy, the MAISA Spring Co-Ed Dinghy Championships, April 29-30 hosted by ODU.
Senior skipper Carl Horrocks and sophomore crews Shri Puri and Alex Starks finished seventh in A Division for Washington, while sophomore skipper Alex Hood and freshman crew Derek Packard and sophomore crew Meredith Dodd were fifth in B Division. WC finished in the top three in four of the final races in B Division.
WAC was a mere 10 points short of qualifying for the ICSA Co-Ed Dinghy National Championship for the first time. Since the team is still young, the future looks bright for the WAC sailors.
Winds on Saturday were 12-22 knots out of the north-northeast in the morning and east-northeast for most of the afternoon shifting back to northeast at the end of the day. A Division completed 10 races on Saturday, while B Division finished eight races. Winds on Sunday were 15-25 knots. Five A Division and seven B Division races were sailed on Sunday.
