CHESTERTOWN, MARYLAND — Washington College finished sixth of 17 teams at the Luce Trophy, the regatta it hosted Oct. 24-25, and qualified for the War Memorial Championship Regatta, according to official Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association results.
SUNY Maritime won with 38 points. Penn State was second with 50, followed by Virginia Tech (63), Queen's University (65), Princeton (66) and Washington College (80). The University of Maryland finished 11th with 122.
All racing came on Saturday. The final standings counted six races in each division in Flying Junior boats, sailed in a northeast breeze of about 5 knots that faded in the early afternoon, according to the regatta report. On Sunday no wind appeared. After a shore postponement until noon, coaches, team representatives and the race committee agreed further waiting would not produce quality racing, and the Saturday results stood.
The race committee's report said the top six teams qualified for War Memorial.
Washington College's A division boat, skipper Alex Salzberg and crew Soledad Fintel, finished sixth in its division with 41 points. In B division, skipper Imogene Nuss and crew Nora Ciak finished fourth with 39 points. Fintel is a sophomore from Lewes, Del., according to the college roster.
Washington College's schedule lists the War Memorial Championship Regatta in Annapolis on Saturday, Oct. 31, and Sunday, Nov. 1.
Six scored races in each division on Saturday, none on Sunday, and sixth place was enough to keep the season going.
