The No. 5 Harvard women's team participated in the ICYRA Women's Dinghy Championship last Sunday through Tuesday at St. Mary's, taking fourth place in the meet.

Sophomores Margaret Gill and Susan Bonney won the A division with a near-flawless 56 points, 22 points better than the top team from Boston University and making them the best two-person women's boat in the country. For her efforts in the meet, Gill was named an All-American.

"Exceptional sailing by both Gill/Bonney and [the Dartmouth team of] Morgan/Myers allowed them to lead their divisions by wide margins," Horn said. "Both combinations sailed throughout the varied conditions unchanged, while many other teams substituted crews during Monday's big breeze."

For getting the top score in their division, Gill and Bonney won the Madeleine Cup.

Unfortunately for Gill and Bonney, though, the team championship was a compilation of the A and B division scores, and Harvard's B boat finished in ninth with 173 points. Overall, the Crimson finished in fourth with 229 points. No. 2 Dartmouth won the meet with 157 points, followed by No. 4 Tufts and No. 6 Boston University at 174 and 182 points, respectively.

Harvard placed ahead of No. 1 USC, No. 7 Old Dominion, No. 9 Brown, No. 8 Goergetown, Boston College, No. 13 Hawaii, No. 11 U.C. Santa Barbara, No. 14 Eckerd, Michigan, Wisconsin, Texas A&M Galveston, Miami of Ohio and Washington.
