ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Fourth-seeded Harvard Sailing completed the first day of finals action at the ICSA Women's Fleet Racing National Championship on Sunday in seventh place. The Crimson registered a score of 103 during a day that was cut short due to incoming storms in the area.
Stanford leads the championship field of 18 with 47 points, with Yale (58), Bowdoin (81), College of Charleston (82), Cornell (90) and George Washington (103) rounding out the top-6. George Washington earned the nod over Harvard for sixth place as a result of the number of high-place finishes.

Christina Chen teamed up to compete against the A-Division, while
Kate Danielson was paired with
JJ Drummond (1-3) and
Amelie Zucker (4-6) in the B-Division.

th-place effort between two fourth-places, before Danielson-Zucker ended with a solid 8-6-10 showing in the final three races to end with a 47.
