In addition, Strachan sailed as the A-division crew to win George Washington's first-ever conference championship in the Fall of 2015, and was a member of two others (Spring 2016 and Fall 2017).
A three-time All-MAISA crew honoree and two-time Academic All-American, Strachan served as the social media representative for the Mid-Atlantic Conference and has worked with the US Sailing media team to help cover national and international sailing events.
