BRONX, N.Y. – Stanford sailing picked up a pair of top-10 finishes at the ICSA Singlehanded Championships this weekend, with Avery Baldwin taking fourth in the women's competition and Thomas Sitzmann took seventh in the men's competition.
“Two days of great sailing out of AYC in some shifty conditions," said head coach Chris Klevan. "Tommy battled to a 7th place finish in a very tight fleet. Avery fought hard all the way until the last race.”
Baldwin finished fourth with 73 points, including three first-place finishes. The fourth-place finish was an improvement from last year, when she finished seventh in her freshman season.
Sitzmann took seventh in the men’s competition, scoring 114 points with a pair of top-three finishes.
“I’m very proud of these two sailors. The singlehanded championship is sailed in a boat that requires a lot of determination to be successful. And, obviously given the name, there’s no one out there with you to help," added Klevan. "Both Avery and Tommy have grown as sailors since arriving at Stanford. I think this weekend’s event in New York shows that.”
The Card closes out the 2026 fall season next weekend, competing in the Open PCCSC Championship and ICSA Match Race Championships.
