Junior Emily Lambert and freshman Caitlin Watson, who teamed up to take seventh in the A Division, were responsible for many of these top finishes. Lambert and Watson recorded three third-place finishes before winning the final race of the regatta.
“It was cool to see [Lambert] sail because she is very talented,” Watson said. “Emily was really consistent. We were able to keep the boat upright. She’s definitely experienced in wind, so that definitely helps.”
Meanwhile freshmen Morgan Russom and Isabel Ruane placed 14th in the B Division.
“I thought that we definitely improved as the races progressed,” Russom said. “I think we learned a lot at this weekend’s races.”
SAVIN HILL INVITATIONAL
The Crimson contingent that travelled to Dorchester Bay was a model of consistency. All of its sailors placed fourth in their respective divisions to give Harvard a fourth-place finish overall.
Sophomores Nick Waldo and Jinyan Zang gave the Crimson three top-five finishes in the A Division. The Crimson’s B Division sailors, freshmen Luke O’Connor, Diana Powell, and Sarah Pierson, didn’t post as high finishes as their A Division counterparts, but their consistency was enough to place Harvard above its more erratic opponents in the division.
OBERG TROPHY
A seventh-place finish in the A Division paced the Crimson to its 11th overall finish in the Charles River basin. Senior Colin Santangelo and junior William White, who is also a Crimson news editor, earned two top-five finishes and four sixth-place finishes in the effort. Freshmen Ben Lamont and Alice Kenney placed 12th in the B Division.
