Treasure Island, California - While Fleet Week festivities were occurring on the city front, the Co-ed Cardinal sailors were in a fleet of their own, racing at Cal's StoneyBurke invitational in the sheltered bay of Treasure Island. With Blue Angels screaming by overhead, the Varsity A-team of Brian Haines and Kelly McKenna and B-Team Emery Wager and Becca Levin sailed to the top, marking their place in the first double-handed co-ed event of the west coast. Haines won his division by finishing all but one race in the top three, while Wager and Levin overcame some tough early races to then win the last four, only to be disqualified from race 7 for an incident at the start. The DSQ nearly doubled their score, and unfortunately dropped them from first to fourth in B-division, but the Cardinal had a big enough lead to still win the event overall. The Stanford JV teams also placed well, with the JV1 team of TJ Tullo, Beth Hoover, Graham BZ, Carrie Denning, and Marisa Choy placing 2nd, and the JV2 team of freshman Peter Stemler, Megan Grove, Shira Shane and sophomores Cameron Bell and Jared Sun placing 4th overall.

Annapolis, Maryland - The training ground for the Fleet Week sailors, the US Naval Academy itself, hosted the Navy Women's Fall Intersectional this weekend. This event has three divisions sail simultaneously: Caroline Young, Joanna Madsen, and Leigh Hammel in A, Taylor Grimes and Katherine Schlosser in B, and Evan Brown in C. In incredibly difficult conditions of light air and shifts the Stanford Women worked hard to defend their #1-Ranking. But the Cardinal could not quite keep up with rivals Yale on Saturday, and went into Sunday a few points out of first and with very little separating them in second with teams up to fifth place. Further light winds and possible time change problems allotted for a hard time on Sunday, where the women slipped from second to fifth overall. But the College Sailing jury perhaps understood the difficulty of the conditions, and when the rankings came out this week, the women were still seated at the top.
