Bowdoin Sailing Earns Top-Three Finishes at Two Weekend Regattas

Bowdoin College's sailing team finished third at the Geiger Trophy and fourth at the Women's Southern New England Team Race during the weekend of March 14-15, splitting its competition across two distant venues after returning from a week of training in St. Petersburg, Florida.

At the Coast Guard Academy, the Polar Bears posted a 6-6 record to claim third place in the Geiger Trophy. At Connecticut College, Bowdoin went 7-5 to finish fourth in the Women's Southern New England Team Race. The team faced challenging weather conditions at both events.

Seniors Lauren Russler, Kyra Phelan, and Ethan Danielson were among the key participants across the two regattas. The Florida training block, completed in the week leading up to the competition, was aimed at preparing the men's and women's skippers and crews for the Spring Fleet Race Nationals.

The Polar Bears face a heavy schedule next weekend with three regattas on the calendar: the KP Open Team Race at King's Point, the Duplin Trophy at Tufts, and the Hawks Team Race at Roger Williams.
