*** Foster and De Havenon are NEISA Women’s Sailors of the Week ***
Boston, MA - 3/26/19 – Rachel Foster ’20 and Maxine De Havenon ’19 are the NEISA Women’s Sailors of the Week for leading Brown University to an impressive 10-0 record at the Duplin Team Race at Tufts this past weekend. Conditions were challenging, with shifty westerly winds which were very puffy at times. The Brown duo started very well, and was instrumental in turning several winning combinations for their team. This was a very competitive event, with teams gearing up for the Women’s National Team Race Invite in just a few weeks.
*** Harding and Agell are NEISA Coed Sailors of the Week ***
Bristol, RI – 3/26/19 - Connor Harding ’19 and Jennifer Agell ’19 led their team in an impressive performance at the Jan T. Friis Trophy at Roger Williams University this past weekend. This was an extremely competitive event, held just two weeks before the New England Team Race Champs. Racing was cancelled on Saturday due to high winds, which made every race count on Sunday, in the single round robin format. Roger Williams finished 7-2, tied for first place, but losing the tie-breaker to Yale. This performance establishes RWU as one of the favorites to move forward to the ICSA Team Race Nationals.
Around the district – Yale won the Friis Trophy, Brown won the Duplin Trophy, Dartmouth College won the Vietor Trophy, Boston University won the BU Team Race, and Tufts won the Eagle Team Race. Connecticut College won the Staake Trophy, and the University of Rhode Island finished second. This performance qualifies both teams for the New England Team Race Champs on April 6-7.
