Loyola, for the first time in years, sent teams to two separate events. They were hundreds of miles away with some in Minnetonka, MN for the Fall Colors Regatta, and others in New London, CT for the Coast Guard Regatta.
In Minnesota, the JV team had tons of fun and learned a lot while racing. Loyola gold performed well with Chris Lynch starting slow in the A division, but building momentum to be one of the best sailors in the second half of the event. A highlight Maggie Koller's fantastic performance in the B fleet and hot streak of great finishes up to second place and Colin Patterson's third place finish.
Loyola Academy arrived at the Coast Guard Academy to meet heavy breeze, some of the best competition in the country, and their coach's goal of a top 3 finish at the event. This would be an improvement on their 6th place finish at the event. Breeze at 15-20 left Ciara McHugh and Juliann Sargis on the sidelines, while the big crews, Kevin Kennedy and John Kinzel suited up.
Post and Kennedy in the A division (sailed in 420s) went up against some fierce boats, leading their day 1 finishes to be out of the top five. Their skill showed, however in that although their average finish was 8th place, they were much more consistent than other sailors leading them to be in fifth place in tight competition for fourth. Ciara McHugh also sailed a set with Alex and did great.
Holmberg and Kinzel finished with mostly second places in the B division (sailed in FJs) with Sargis stepping in for a set leading to Loyola's first 1st place finish of the event. By the end of the day, the B sailors lagged 15 points out of first place, but had established a 30 point lead over the third place boat.
Loyola finished the day in second place overall to Chirstchurch School, and with a lead over Monseigneur Donavon. The next day brought breeze 20-25 and it was determined that both divisions would sail 420s, as FJs are liable to flip over. Loyola watched solemnly as they dropped out of second with Post and Kennedy flipped and in last place in the first race {they were later given redress as the incident had been the fault of a foul}, and Monseigneur Donavon overtaking them by ten points. Post took a sixth in the next race and kept the team competitive. Holmberg and Kinzel knew they had to stick Donavon in their final races as they took a sixth, and won the final race with Donavon trailing both races. Post and Kennedy then went out and crushed the competition, also finishing in first but this race was not counted, as breeze picked up to 30 knots, and the set was abandoned.
Loyola took 3rd overall, losing to Donavon by 2 points, but accomplishing what they came to do.
