Skippered by freshman Kyle Kovacs with sophomore Emily Simon at crew, the D-division sailed with equivalent dominance over its competition. The two won the division and seven of their races, including four consecutively on Saturday.
The competition over the weekend was intense at the top but not necessarily throughout the entire field, as some top teams took the weekend off in preparation for next weekend’s championships.
“This wasn’t a super-competitive regatta,” Schubert said. “BC and Coast Guard, who are actually pretty far up there [in intercollegiate rankings] did actually send pretty good teams.”
The upcoming championships will conclude Harvard’s racing until the spring. The women will sail in Charleston, S.C., while the co-ed contingent will sail at MIT. The regatta will likely be one of, if not the, most competitive of the fall.
“Basically, we’re trying to get through the end of the season,” Devlin said. “We’re looking to end the season well.”
