Boston, MA--(5/2/10)--Coast Guard finished the season on a high note this past weekend, winning the George Morris Intersectional hosted by Boston University.

Going into the final two races of the regatta, Coast Guard found themselves six points behind the home team, Boston University. In the A-Division race, Sam Ingham ’11 and Amanda Hamlet ’12 were able to put three points on BU, which left the Bears closer to the win but still three points back. Ian Oviatt ’10 and Tanya Cuprak ’11 rose to the challenge in B-Division, finishing 2nd in the race with BU in 6th. Coast Guard won the regatta with a point to spare.

Ingham and Hamlet won A-Division by ten points, finishing with 26 points in nine races, with three race wins and only one race outside of the top four. Oviatt and Cuprak were third in B-Division with 41 points, one race win, and several top five finishes. The team combined for 67 points. Boston University was second with 68 points and Roger Williams was third with 75 points.

New London, CT--(4/25/10)--Coast Guard had its best Thompson Trophy in several years, finishing 9th out of 18 teams. The Thompson Trophy, which is named after Rear Admiral Bernie E. Thompson, USCGA ’48, and Marie Thompson, Connecticut College ’50, and symbolizes the relationship that the two Thames River teams have had over the years, was hosted by Coast Guard in both FJs and 420s. Saturday brought great racing conditions during which the Race Committee was able to complete ten races in each division. Conditions were much tougher on Sunday, resulting in only three races sailed in each division.

B-Division sailors Ian Oviatt ’10 and Tanya Cuprak ’11 made the best of the situation on Sunday, going 3-1-1 in the only three races sailed to end the regatta. Their performance solidified the Bears’ 9th place finish, surging up the results three places from the end of the day on Saturday. Oviatt and Cuprak finished 7th in their division with 101 points. Sailing in A-Division, Sam Ingham ’11 and Matt Stroebel ’12 finished 13th with 131 points. The team combined for 232 points. Roger Williams won the regatta with 163 points.
