Georgetown University Wins ICSA/LAYLINE National Team Race Championship
 |
Over the last three days, competition for the ICSA/Layline National Team Racing
Championship progressed from the opening rounds among 14 colleges (who qualified
for the championship through conference eliminations), first eliminating six
schools, and then to the “final four” before Georgetown University (Washington,
D.C.) emerged with their second national team racing title. In the first round
of the series, Georgetown posted a 6-0 win-loss record. During the championship
rounds among the top-eight schools, the Hoyas gave up only three races out of 14
for a number one slot into the final round among the top-four schools.
Graduating seniors Andrew Campbell (San Diego, Calif.) and Ed du Moulin
(Larchmont, N.Y.), and sophomore Chris Behm (Hampton, Va.) skippered for the
Hoyas, while graduating seniors Nick Deane (Boston, Mass.), Kelly Lanzara (Great
Falls, Va.) and Dan Monico (Winnetka, Ill.), junior Caroline LaMotte Jr.
(Oxford, Md.) and freshman Carly Chamberlain (Newport Beach, Calif.) handled the
crew duties.
Winning is definitely “sweeter the second time around,” said Mike Callahan
(Falmouth, Mass./ Washington, D.C.), who has coached sailing at Georgetown since
1998. To be successful in Charleston the team’s starting positions were shuffled
-- Chris Behm was moved to the pin end and Andrew Campbell to the middle – which
tactically “made all the difference” for the Hoyas who do not have to deal with
big breeze or current on the Potomac River. Callahan explained that in 2001,
when the Hoyas won their first national team racing championship, there was no
on-the-water judging and the sailors had to wait until any protests were decided
to find out if they were the champions. With the changes to team racing,
competitors now know they’ve won as soon as the race is finished.
Racing today under mostly sunny skies with a consistent easterly breeze between
8-12 knots, the course, which was set close to the Ravenel Bridge, afforded the
large spectator crowd perfect viewing from the deck of the USS Yorktown. Joining
Georgetown in the contest for the title were Tufts University (9 wins-5 losses),
Hobart/William Smith Colleges and the University of South Florida (both with 8
wins-6 losses). In the end it came down to who would win the final race of the
day to break the tie between Tufts and Georgetown.
“Tufts is a great team and they put on an impressive effort. It was scary coming
into the last race, but we won when it counted and we’re very excited,” said
Callahan.
BACKGROUND - Conference eliminations qualified 14 colleges, representing
seven North American conferences, to compete for the ICSA/Layline National Team
Race Championship. The event pits each college's three-boat team against
another's in a round-robin series of matches, with the top-four of the 14 teams
proceeding to a double round-robin championship series to determine the overall
winner.
