The Hoyas won the Jesuit Cup for the second year in a row. This regatta was first
sailed in the 1950's and went through to 1971 before it was abandoned. With the
resurgence of the Fordham team, the regatta was resurrected last year. The Hoyas turned in a commanding performance in A division, winning 14 out of 18 races.
Navy Laser Open 27 boats
Georgetown Sailors
Bill Jorch 12 w/ 168 points
Langdon Mitchell 13th w/ 203 points
Both Bill and Langdon sailed well in a few races but never put together a string of good races and finished in a disappointing manner. The top six boats qualified for the Laser district championships. Bill and Langdon will have one more shot to qualify for the championship at another regatta in a few weeks.
The Hoyas will compete in four regattas this weekend:
Nevins Trophy @ Kings Point
Mrs. Hurst Bowl @ Dartmouth
Freshman Groundbreaker @ NY Maritime
Ocean County College Regatta
