Hayes and Solsvig Set the Pace in First National Semi-Final

 

 

4/27/08- Geneva, NY- University of Vermont Catamounts, Clinton Hayes and 
Coco Solsvig, have been named the Coed Sailors of the Week by the New 
England Intercollegiate Sailing Association. Hayes and Solsvig prevailed 
over a very talented field in A-division at the Intercollegiate Sailing 
Association Eastern Semi-Final Championship. Their performance enabled 
UVM to qualify for the ICSA Coed Dinghy Championship for the first time 
in the program's history. In conditions that ranged from three to 
sixteen knots Hayes and Solsvig sailed a nearly flawless series 
finishing outside of the top five only once in the eight races sailed. 
They finished in the top three in five of eight races sailing against a 
division that included three All American skippers.

 

 

Barry and Walker Dominate Their Division at the Southern Series

 

4/27/08- Newport, RI- Over the weekend many of the teams that have 
qualified for the National Women's Championship sailed in the Southern 
Series hosted by Salve Regina as a warm up for the Championship. The 
Brown Bears B-division tandem of Elizabeth Barry and Amy Walker proved 
that they will be tough to beat come May. After finishing fourth and 
eighth in the first two races, they installed a "picket fence" on the 
score sheet by winning eight consecutive races! They won their division 
by fourteen points. For their efforts they have been named the Women's 
Sailors of the Week by the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association.
