ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Following the unforeseen conclusion to the 2019-20 seasons, our Sunday Salute series continues this week with Navy intercollegiate sailing.
 
During the 2019-20 season, the Midshipmen captured a pair of home victories during the fall portion of their schedule after winning the Navy Women's Fall Regatta and the Truxtun Umstead Coed Showcase. Navy also racked up six top-five finishes and eight top-10 finishes in the fall.
 
In the spring portion of the season, the Midshipmen competed in seven scored regattas where they finished in the top 10 during each event and posted six top-five finishes. Navy bookended the spring season with a pair of runner-up finishes after placing second at the St. Mary's Team Race and the George Washington Team Race.
 
At the end of the 2019-20 season, the Midshipmen placed eight individuals on the All-MAISA Teams. JC Hermus and Parker Loftus were each selected to the First Team All-MAISA Coed Skipper with Hermus also being one of the finalists for MAISA Sailor of the Year. Olivia de Olazarra and Brittney Slook were selected to the All-MAISA Women's Skipper First Team.
