The US Naval Academy qualified for one of the three Spring College Sailing Championships. On the 1st day of the 1st championship-womens- they maximized their impact. The lead the regatta by 10 points, with the B division team 1st, and their A division team 1st.
Each division scored a 1st and neither posted a score in double digits.

Tufts leads A division but a 7th place B division team pulls them down to 7th overall.

2nd overall is Yale, trailing by 10 points. Most of the deficit comes from A division, while Yale’s B trails the Navy B squad by only
1 point.

ODU is 3rd. ODU’s A team skippered by Anna Tunnicliffe is 3rd despite a 10th and 11th.

Each race in A division was won by a different team. Race winners were: Hobart William Smith, Navy, Hawaii, ODU, Yale, & Stanford.
There was also a different winner in the 4 B races sailed. Winners were: Yale, Navy, Hawaii and Dartmouth.

Hawaii despite winning races in both divisions is only 8th. Both of their crews were 12th in their first race and then both bounced
back to win the 3rd races and then posted more deep finishes.

The fact that wins were spread out and that the top teams won while avoiding too many bad races show that as is typical consistency
will place high.
