Grosse Isle Invitational

Last year, Loyola dominated the Grosse Isle Invitational, finishing first and second place overall and our goal was to repeat last year. the first day began very cold and breezy, but by the time we got out to the race course the wind had died down significantly and it had warmed up. The wind died around 11:00 but by the last set of the day it had picked back up to 12-15 kts. The second day was very similar to the first, however, the time limit for racing prevented us to stay on the water until the wind picked back up so the wind slowly died all day. In the overall team scores, Loyola Black and Loyola White took first and third place, respectively, sending a message to the other teams. In the A division, Alex Post and Melinda Lee took first place, followed by John Kinzel and Alejandra Edery in fourth place, Scott Hallman and Jen McDermott in 11th, and Marshall Fordon and Kathryn Fitzpatrick in 12th. In the B division, Chris Lynch and Tayler Crimaldi won by a very small margin, edging out Davis Porter and Grace Williams, who tied for second, by just two points. They were followed by James Kohn and Isa Brooks in 8th and Colleen Kollar and Allison LeTourneau in 9th. Good work Ramblers!
