CASCADE LOCKS, Ore. - Only two races were sailed on the final day of the Sperry Top-Sider/ICSA Women's National Championships and Old Dominion finished outside the Top 10 in both to drop to sixth in the final standings.
The final day of racing at the Columbia River Gorge brought a long wind delay that kept sailors on shore until 2 p.m. when some breeze began to come down the river at about 2-7 knots from a westerly direction. A-division was able to fit in two races before the 5 p.m. racing cut off, but B-division only sailed one race, therefore only one race in each division counted.
The Lady Monarchs finished 14th in the A-Division race and 15th in the B-Division race. The duo of Stephanie Roble and Emily Reich ended the regatta in seventh in A-Division, while Morgan Wilson and Shannon Wilkins claimed eighth in B-Division.
ODU sailing now prepares for the ICSA/Gill Co-ed National Championships which run May 30-June 1.
