Between now and the 27th we’ll preview all the schools that will compete in college sailing’s spring nationals.

Old Dominion has qualified for the dinghy and women’s championships. Multiple time single handed champion Anna Tunniclife is the Monarchs top sailor. ODU won the women’s championship in 2002 but were 11th last year. The women’s team is likely their best chance at a top finish, while their co-ed team ranked 15th could also be respectable.

Stanford is also a 2 event qualifier with their 3rd ranked women’s team leading the way. The young team scored at strong victory at the PCC elim’s. Last they finished 7th and had the top B division team. These sailors return. Stanford qualified for the dinghy championships after a 3rd place finish at their elims. So for the 3rd straight year Stanford used an at large berth to qualify. Ranking 15th expectations are not as high for the co-ed team as for the women’s team.
