CORONADO WINS, CALIFORNIANS
ROMP IN MALLORY CUP
SAN FRANCISCO---Teams from the Pacific Coast Interscholastic Sailing
Association led by Coronado (Calif.) High School's defending champions
swept the first four places in the Mallory Cup National Doublehanded
Championships May 11-12.
Senior Mikee Anderson, with sophomores Lauren Usrey and Tinja Anderson
alternating as crew, won the A division while senior Brian Haines and
sophomore crew Blaire Herron placed second in the B division. Jon Nass
was the alternate skipper. The coaches are Willem Van Waay and Kate
Sheehan.
The event was based at the Treasure Island Sailing Center. Winds were 8
to 22 knots, with flat water and minimal tidal effect.
Freshman Adam Roberts, the current Junior Sabot national champion, won
the B division for Point Loma High School, which was second overall on
the added strength of senior Ryan Lorence's third place in A.
Newport Harbor and Santa Barbara finished third and fourth, followed by
Milton (Mass.) Academy and Tabor Academy of Marion, Mass. The fifth
PCISA entry, Bishop's School of La Jolla, was seventh.
Twenty teams qualified for the event through district competitions. Each
A and B entry sailed 16 races in CFJ dinghies provided by the Peninsula
Youth Sailing Foundation, San Francisco YC, St. Francis YC and the
Robert Louis Stevenson School. The competitors used sails donated by Roy
E. Disney to the California International Sailing Association (CISA).
This regatta was the first time that a high school national championship
was held at the Treasure Island Sailing Center, and conditions could not
have been better. Spectators can see the entire course from shore.
While the continued success of the California schools was impressive,
the New England schools showed resurgence. High school sailing continues
to grow, with new teams joining in each of the seven national districts.
More than 250 teams with 3,000 sailors competed for a chance to go to
the nationals. This year the La Porte (Tex.) High School team qualified
for the nationals in its first season.
The Coronado sailors will defend their Baker Cup national team race
championship at Detroit May 25-26.
