USF Sailors Claim First Place At SAISA Conference Championships

USF sailors dominated the SAISA (South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association) Conference Championships the past two weekends.
 
The Team Racing Championships were held April 1-2, 2006 in Charleston, SC. Seniors Kevin Reali, Ashley Reynolds, Jee Lee, and Andrew Blom were joined by Jesse Combs, Elizabeth Foy, and Tim King in defeating rivals University of Florida, College of Charleston, and Eckerd College.

The victory qualifies the USF team to compete at Nationals, May 28-30, which will also be hosted by Charleston.
 
The following weekend, April 8-9, 2006, the Fleet Racing Championships were sailed in blustery 20 to 30 mph winds, once again at Charleston.  Kevin Reali, with crews Ashley Reynolds and Tim King, led “A” division, while Jesse Combs, with crews Elizabeth Foy and Tim King, sailed to second in “B” division. Their combined scores gave USF the victory over eight other SAISA schools, qualifying the team to compete at Nationals May 31-June 2.
