AUSTIN, Texas - Old Dominion University senior crew Emily Reich has been named to the 2012 Intercollegiate Sailing Association's (ICSA) All-America team.
Reich (Oak Bluffs, Mass.) led the Old Dominion coed sailing team to a national top-15 ranking this season and has been a large contributor on and off the water to Monarch sailing. Sailing in A or B division races in each of the last three seasons, she helped ODU earn a fourth consecutive bid to the ICSA Dingy/Gill National Championship this season after earning fifth place in the ICSA Semifinals in Annapolis in May. Reich also spearheaded the Polar Plunge project in Virginia Beach that ODU participated in back in February to help raise over $2,000 for the Special Olympics in Virginia.
A committee of coaches who represent the seven conferences in the ICSA selects the ICSA All-America Team. For selecting the All-Americans the committee evaluates a competitor based on their competitive record in inter-conference competition as well as conference and national championships. The committee analyzes how this record compares to fellow competitors, the quality of the competition the record was achieved in, the span of the record over the fall and spring seasons, results achieved with different crews, and how the record compares to previous All-American winners in past years.
For All-American crew selections, the committee uses criteria similar to skipper selection, but also considers: demonstrated leadership (may consider seniority), outstanding body mechanics and boat handling skills as well as proven ability to improve the results of the skipper(s) with whom he or she sails.
