The A Fleet pairing of Thomas DeRose and Hannah DiLavore/Ella Simmons took three 2nd place finishes in their seven races while Jack Crager and Alysa Jette/Maggie Hunt earned three 1st place and three 2nd place finishes in their seven B Fleet races. The performance earned the team a berth in the MidAtlantic Scholastic Sailing Association Silver Fleet Championship in Toms River, NJ next weekend.

On Sunday, the team earned a 3rd place finish among thirteen schools in the Catholic Cup, plied in the waters off Black Rock, CT. DeRose and Simmons teamed up again to claim one first place finish in their five A Fleet races while Crager and Hunt cruised to two 2nd place finishes in their five B Fleet heats.
