ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. - Stanford sailing stands in fifth place after day one of the St. Mary's Interconference, as southerly breezes from 8-15 knots gave way for great racing Saturday at the intersectional regatta to open the Cardinal's fall slate.
The Cardinal totaled 171 points and trail Old Dominion (135), Roger Williams (149), Dartmouth (157) and Boston College (170) in the standings.
Stanford shelved 70 points in the A Division behind the efforts of Oliver Toole and Haley Kirk, ranking third among the 18-team field.
In the B Division, Kieran Chung-Wolf and Kelly Ortel finished seventh with 101 points.
