ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – Harvard women's sailing catapulted up the leaderboard in the final day of the ICSA Women's Fleet Race National Championships, finishing third to mark its best finish since 2019.
After a slow day on the water with only six races completed on day one, Harvard used 26 races across Division A and B to move up six spots. The Crimson started strong with second and fifth place finishes in the first race of each division.
Cordelia Burn (skipper) and
Margo Silliman (crew) eventually finished second overall in Division A after collecting two first place finishes and five top five results on day two.
Zoey Ziskind (skipper) teamed up with
Peyton Hadfield and
Christina Chen (crew) across the 13 day two races to finish fourth overall in Division B. The Harvard sailors finished in the top five four separate times to help lift the Crimson to a third-place finish.
The Crimson placed four spots higher than last year's finish and broke back into the top three for the first time in five years following its runner-up finish in 2019.
