| Seago '14 and Wallace '15 in A Division |
The University of
Michigan Sailing Team hosted our annual intersectional fall regatta, The
Cary-Price Memorial, over the weekend of October 5-6. Our co-ed and
women's teams were joined for the weekend by the University of
Illinois, Denison, the University of Miami (Ohio) and Purdue. The
teams arrived Friday night and attended a social event with the Michigan team
before waking up early Saturday morning to make the drive to Baseline Lake.
The weather on Saturday
wasn’t the greatest, with overcast skies and humid conditions. The temperatures
were in 60’s-70’s and there was a 2-6 knot southerly breeze which allowed for
classic light air racing on Baseline Lake. In A Division, our co-ed team had
Ryan Seago ’14, Ryan Davidson ’15 and Elizabeth Wallace ’15 and B division
consisted of Tom Etheridge ’16, Will Cyr ’14 and David Oliver ’14. Our Women’s
team was comprised of Emily Gazall ’16 and Alsion Bradley ’16 in A and Abigail
Rogers ’16 and Tori Noble ’17 making up the B division team. After a delicious
lunch donated by one of the Michigan parents, Mrs. Seago, the teams continued
sailing in very light wind until the end of the day. After 6 races in A and 4
in B, the Michigan co-ed team had 15 pts, leading Miami of Ohio with 28 pts.
and Denison with 35 pts.

On Sunday, the teams
arrived to light rain and muggy conditions with a 5-10 knot southerly breeze.
Racing continued until early in the afternoon before the awards and then
everyone headed home. After 10 races in both divisions, Michigan
co-ed finished first overall, followed by Miami in second and Denison in
third. Thank you to all the teams that came out, and we hope to see
them all and more at our next regatta, Michigan Team Race, the first weekend in
November! A big thank you also to Dr. Dubois for running race committee, George
Griswold our chief judge, Mosher Jordan for donating awards, Mrs. Seago for
lunch on Saturday, and Barry Bagels for breakfast both days. Go
blue!
