Sailing Team Heading to Nationals

Ranney’s Sailing Team, which sails in the fall and spring seasons, has qualified for the National Championship to take place this May in Boston. This qualification marks the team as one of the top 20 high school sailing teams in the country!
 
Earlier this month, the team won the 2017 NJISA Spring Fleet Championship in Toms River, providing the Upper School students with a berth into the MASSA Mallory Qualifier Regatta held in Kings Point, NY.  The qualifier regatta, which took place on April 8-9, was comprised of teams from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. After a challenging day of sailing, the team was in 4th Place out of 18 high school teams. Due to weather conditions, the sailors were unable to race on the second day. However, their 4th-place finish was enough to qualify for the ISSA Fleet Racing High School National Championship - a first for Ranney sailing. 
 
At the May 12-14 Nationals, Ranney will take on 19 other schools from across the country, including neighboring CBA. Congratulations to Coach Clay Johnson (a Harvard sailing alum and four-time Olympic trialist) and all of our young sailors, including: Luke Arnone ’19 of Mantoloking, Blake Epstein ’19 of Rumson, Cameron Giblin ’19 of Monmouth Beach, Matt Hamelsky ’19 of Marlboro, Mari Patient ’17 of Oceanport, Kelsey Stout ’19 of Wall, and Catherine Vucetic ’19 of Holmdel.

Ranney’s sailing team is only in its second full competition year. The team previously took 4th in the Atlantic Coast Championship (back story), and last year, Luke Arnone and Cameron Giblin, who both began sailing at age 8, received the NJISA First Team Skipper Awards.
