PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Brown sailing teams continued their fall seasons last weekend, finishing fifth in the Open Atlantic Coast Championship and posting top-five finishes in four additional events.

The open sailing team had a strong performance in the Open Atlantic Coast Championship at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. This competition is the premiere dinghy event of the fall season. The Bears finished fifth overall out of the top 18 teams in college sailing, and were in a tight battle for third place heading into the final races. Junior skipper Blake Behrens along with senior and junior crews Caroline Keeffe-Jones and Camren Spriggs had a standout performance, finishing third place in A division just one point out of second. The B division team of sophomore skippers Tyler Lamm and James Brock, along with junior and senior crews Vera Allen and Brianna Ross finished eighth in B division.

The Bears' open team also competed in three other events, highlighted by a second place finish overall in the 18-team, three-division Oberg Trophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hosted by Northeastern. Brown finished within the top four across all three divisions. First-years Noah Stapleton and Dominic Ciccimaro finished third in A division, sophomore Charles Gish and first-year Kyoko Tonkin finished fourth in B-division, and junior Sidney Moyer and first-year Michelle Kaneti earned second in the C division. Brown was the top NEISA team, losing to Stanford by 13 points. The team also competed in two team race events over the weekend. The Bears finished third out of five teams at the Norman Reid Team Race at Boston College on Saturday with a 6-6 record, and third at the Lane Trophy Team Race at Tufts on Sunday out of six teams with a 7-3 record.

The women's team competed at the Yale Women's Interconference, finishing a close fourth place overall in the 18-team event, featuring the top women's teams in college sailing. Brown finished just four points out of second place, led by senior Katharine Doble and sophomore Reese Corckran's third place finish in the A division. Senior Katherine McNamara and junior Katherine Majette finished fifth in a tight B division.

Up Next
