Another contingent of co-ed sailors made the short trip down the banks of the Charles River to compete at the Oberg Trophy regatta at MIT. The squad competed in three divisions on the weekend and finished 11th out of 17 schools.

Racing was canceled on the first day of competition, and one of Harvard’s crews suffered an injury, which further set back the Crimson as it competed against the challenging conditions on Sunday.

“Some of the top competition from throughout the region was there,” Byrne said.

“We competed well but the wind was tricky out there on the Charles.”

Junior Teddy Himler handled the skippering duties in the A-division boat, where he was joined by sophomore crew Annie DeAngelo in a fifth place finish.

In the B-division, junior skipper Colin Santangelo and freshman crew Sarah McCuskee placed 14th, while Byrne and fellow rookie crew Alma Lafler took home 12th in the C-division.

CENTRAL SERIES SIX

A final contingent of Crimson co-ed sailors made its way to Boston College to compete in the Central Series Six regatta over the weekend, finishing with a 10th place effort.

First-years skipper Sam Millham and crew Jinyan Zang finished 10th in the A-division of racing, while fellow rookies skipper Nick Waldo and crew Lauren Tiedemann placed eighth in the B-division.

Three weeks remain in Harvard’s fall sailing campaign, and the Crimson will look to finish up the fall season strong to gain momentum for the championship regattas come the spring.

“We have been progressing all season,” Powers said, “and will continue to push ourselves to remain focused and preserve through our remaining regattas this fall.”
