White Bear Regatta – White Bear, MN Oct 22-23, 2011






The Loyola team drove over eight hours to White Bear, Minnesota for a weekend of racing. The first day was 0 to 5 mph, making the sailors impatient during races. Although there was little to no wind, the sailors were able to get off the line and finish in top 10s. On Sunday, the breeze picked up a bit to 8 to 12 mph making races a little more interesting to watch and sail in. The Loyola Gold team took home some hardware by placing 2nd overall. In A division, RJ Porter and Julianna Lee placed 2nd. In B division, Melinda Lee and Colleen Croft placed 1st. The Loyola Maroon team placed 8th overall. Their A boat, Conner Croft and Diana Perez, placed 8th and their B division boat, James Kohn and Annie Conway, placed 10th. All of the other Loyola sailors, who again were split up amongst other teams, raced strongly and had some awesome finishes.
