It is championship season for the Big Green sailing team. Two of Dartmouth’s top sailors led the team to a fourth-place finish in Kings Point, New York. The two compiled a 4-3 record for the best finish at the Intercollegiate Sailing Association Open Team Race National Championship regatta since 2019.
Their efforts are rewarded by being named The Richards Group Athletes of the week.
Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.
