Sailing: The ILS Sailing team had a special event in St. Petersburg called the Cressy Trophy Qualifier for the National Competition. Little background: the Cressy Trophy is for the top laser sailors, single-handed boat. The SAISA district includes high schools from Florida to North Carolina, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. There were 3 divisions- ILCA 6 Female, ILCA 6 Male and ILCA 7.
Senior Umi Noritake represented ILS in the ILCA 7 division. Freshmen Marina Wardlaw, Mateo Coates and Beck Brill represented ILS in the ILCA 6 Female and ILCA 6 Male, respectively.
All four ILS sailors sailed extremely well and fought hard throughout the entire weekend. Umi Noritake (’24) ended up 4th in the ILCA 7, Mateo Coates (’27) and Beck Brill (’27) were 5th and 6th respectively in ILCA 6 and Marina Wardlaw (’27) finished 7th despite not starting 3 races.
Congrats to our Laser Sailors on kicking off the season well.
GOO ROYALS!
