HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth sailing team competed at a trio of regattas during its seventh weekend of the spring season. The Big Green sailed at the Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) Women's Team Race National Championship, Open New England Fleet Race Championship and Little 3 events over a busy weekend.

The Big Green competed on a national stage in Stanford, California at the ICSA Women's Team Race National Championship. Dartmouth was represented by skippers Maddie Hawkins, Gray Hemans and Sarah Young, along with crews Aisling Sullivan, Caroline Oyster and Yumi Yoshiyasu.

Dartmouth picked up a pair of wins on the opening day of the regatta. The Big Green finished the day with a record of 2-9, picking up wins over Michigan and Ivy League foe Harvard, closing the event ranked 11^th in a field of 12 teams.

At the Open New England Fleet Race Championship, Dartmouth secured a second-place finish among a field of 18 teams. Boyd Bragg and Drew Clutterbuck competed in the "A" division, while Will Michels and Reese Bragg sailed in the "B" division.

The pair of Boyd Bragg and Clutterbuck secured the "A" division title, outlasting 17 other teams, including Harvard, Yale and host team Connecticut College. Michels and Reese Bragg finished fifth in a competitive "B" division, just one point behind Brown.

The Big Green swept the top two positions at the Little 3 regatta, hosted by Middlebury. Dartmouth defeated teams from Middlebury, Amherst and UMass on the waters of Lake Champlain. Connor Vogel, Madeline Koelbel, Sudi Zhao and Caleb Cogan took first place. Mike Hanrahan, Rob Mailley and Dagny Scannell placed second in the field of seven teams.

Dartmouth is back in action on May 23 to continue the national championship slate. The ICSA Women's Fleet Race Nationals will take place on May 23-26. The Open Team Race Nationals will follow on May 27-29, and the sailing season concludes with the Open Fleet Race Nationals, which will take place on May 30-June 2. All three events will be hosted at King's Point.
