Junior Richard Bergsund and freshman Karen Kennedy placed fourth in the A division while captain Ames Lyman, junior Ansel Duff and sophomore Hajar El Fathihi took third in the B division.
Although he didn’t compete in this regatta, Bradt felt strongly about how the team has changed compared to last year.
“We’re a little more confident because it comes with experience and with age,” he said. “The people that sailed this weekend had enough experience under their belt for them to feel ready to compete.”
Harvard Invitational
The freshmen on the Crimson proved most resilient in this home regatta on the Charles Sunday.
The in-conference competition consisted solely of FJs. Freshmen Matthew Mollerus and Emma Wheeler took first and sophomore Matthew Clarida and freshman Victor Kamenker took fifth in the A division.
In the B division, the strength of the freshmen really showed. Five freshmen and sophomore Adam Brodheim collected the fourth and sixth positions.
“We had a bunch of freshmen do well and get experience in their first regatta,” Drumm said. “Overall, it was a fun weekend.”
“We saw a big improvement from last year,” the older Mollerus added. “[This weekend] we all went through and did what we had to do. “
