Halloween Regatta

Loyola Academy always strives for victory in all parts of the triathlon that is the Halloween spectacular. In order of importance: the costume contest, the pumpkin carving contest, and then the sailing. Dino was again unleashed this year by Loyola's Davis Porter, but he was again robbed of the costume contest gold and the pumpkin contest was cancelled, so sadly all we won was the sailing. :(

Loyola set out to dominate the regatta as they did last year by sending very competitive teams.

Loyola 1: A- Tommy Holmberg & Juliann Sargis, B- Alex Post and Alejandra Edery

Loyola 2: A- Davis Porter & Taylor Crimaldi, B- John Kinzel & Ciara McHugh

Loyola 3: A- Kevin Kennedy & Grace Williams, B- Chris Lynch & Colleen Koller

Loyola 4: A Maggie Koller & Shea S., B- Marcus Jackson & Emily Norris

Loyola got off to a great start with Holmberg and Post taking first place in their first two races. Neither finished out of the top five in a race and Alex went on to win all but one of his races. Winds escalated from 10 to 20 knots for a very hectic final race in both divisions, both dominated by Loyola 1. Kevin Kennedy had a great regatta with consistant finishes culminating in a solid 4th place finish in the A division. John Kinzel overcame some tough early races with a commanding final set of a first and second place. He finished third in the B division. Holmberg won the A division and Post took second in B bringing Loyola 1 to a 1st place overall with a crushing 30 point lead over fierce competitor New Trier.
