ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Navy intercollegiate sailing team traveled north for two away events this past weekend, seeing the Midshipmen finish fourth in both New London, Conn., and Ithaca, N.Y.
 
The Coast Guard Academy-hosted Vietor Trophy featured a field of 14 schools from all over the country making the trip to New London. A gusty forecast for Saturday and strong northerly breeze on Sunday led to organizers deciding to race only one fleet of boats at a time, but the good conditions allowed for 12 races to still be completed per division.

Navy finished fourth overall as senior Caden Scheiblauer and freshmen Darby Graham and Alex Brenia placed sixth in the "A" division, while junior Hunter Anderson, sophomore Tanner Kelly and freshman Eleanor Niehoff took second place in the "B" division.
 
At the Finger Lakes Women's Team Race in Ithaca, a small field of four teams completed a quadruple round-robin regatta in one day.

Navy's team of juniors Aubin Hattendorf, Julia Christie and Catherine Aitken, sophomores Evie Blauvelt, Maggie Schuler and Linnea Forsberg and freshman Ava Farley came in fourth overall while learning valuable lessons about sailing at Cornell, where the MAISA Women's Team Race Championship will be hosted in two weeks.
