Coed and women's sailing teams headed for nationals
The fourth-ranked women's and 15th-ranked coed sailing teams will both head to Cascade Locks, Ore., this month to compete in Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) championship races. The women will compete for the Gerald C. Miller Trophy in the ICSA/Sperry Top-Sider Women's National Championship from May 23-26, and the coed team will compete for the Henry A. Morss Trophy in the ICSA/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship from May 30-June 1.

This is the first time since 1993 that both the women's and coed teams have qualified for nationals in the same year.
