St. Mary’s Wins Nationals in Final Set

After last week’s ICSA Women’s Nationals came down to the final set, we honestly didn’t think that any of the subsequent events could top it for drama. But along came the ICSA/Gill National Championships . . . which came down to the final set! Throughout the regatta, St. Mary’s College and Yale kept pushing each other further ahead of the rest of the field. On Wednesday’s final day, the two traded the lead after the final A-division set put St. Mary’s behind by three points. But sophomore Michael Menninger and crew Jennifer Chamberlin finished with a 6-1, putting Yale — which posted a 14-16 — in the ‘hurt locker’ during both starts, to take the title for St. Mary’s. There were a lot of great stories to come out of this event, and we’ll have a lot of them for you in the July issue of Latitude 38.
