Regatta sailing is one of the toughest, most competitive events in Hampton Roads. Student-athletes put forth strong performances. At the start of the race, teams scramble like acrobats and chess pros to get a great position for the start of the race. Some teams are riding the waves of their past success with squads that returns most, if not all of it’s high performing athletes. Together with the influx of new freshmen joining the team, many of whom have prior racing experience due to being on a strong JV squad, and improvement of other veterans on the team due to their summer work on the water, these teams have shown themselves to be impressive.
