Loyola Academy Sailing continued a streak of dominance as they swept the High School Invitation Regatta held at Chicago Yacht Club on April 4th and 5th, 2009. Loyola sent four teams to day one of fleet with one team, Loyola Gold taking first place overall. Tommy Holmberg and Melinda Lee won the A Division while Kevin Kennedy and Ciara McHugh won the B Division. While they started a bit slow, these sailors fought a long battle on the race course culminating in a 23 point lead over the second place team. Also of note, Thomas Cook of Loyola JV won a race! Said Cook, "This is the happiest day of my life!"
Day two of the event consisted of a team racing format. Loyola fielded two teams of three boats each. Loyola Gold was comprised of John Kinzel and Melinda Lee, Kevin Kennedy and Ciara McHugh, and Tommy Holmberg and Juliann Sargis. They went undefeated in the regatta for a powerful first place finish. Loyola JV ended in a three way tie for third place with skippers Thomas Cook, Chris A. Lynch, and Eric Anderson.
