The Colonials are looking for a top-four finish to qualify for the Team Race National Championship
SETTING SAIL: A week after recording its best finish in program history at the ultra-competitive Dellenbaugh Women's Trophy, GW sailing looks for forward momentum at the Prosser Trophy hosted by St. Mary's College of Maryland.
Â
The regatta serves as the Team Race Conference Championship and a qualifier for the Intercollegiate Sailing Association National Championship in the discipline. The Colonials are looking for a top-four finish to move on to nationals, which will be held May 25-27 in Newport, R.I., in between the Women's (May 21-24) and Coed Championships (May 28-31).
Â
LOOK BACK: A season ago, GW made history at the Prosser by finishing second with a 15-6 record to move on to Team Race Nationals for the first time. Skippers Andrew Sheerin and Derek Poon-Tip and crew Connor West return from that group to compete against this year's field.
Â
GW LINEUP: The Colonials have a deep and experienced lineup with seven seniors making the trip.
Â
Andrew Sheerin / Zach Lehan / Connor West
Derek Poon-Tip / Clare Cassidy-Gardner / Riley Legault
Matt Logue / Michael Houllahan / Marshall McCraw
Wade Wagner / Mercedes McPhee / Alexandra Fayer
WATCH: Assistant coach Catherine Shanahan, West and Legault preview the weekend.
