The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Rainbow Wahine sailing team delivered an impressive performance at the Jeff Simon Women’s Regatta hosted by UC San Diego from January 27–28. The Rainbow Wahine claimed the regatta for the third straight year.
The Rainbow Wahine entered two teams against a field of five other schools. The top squad of Mercy Tangredi, Morgan Carew, Vivian Bonsager, and Anna Kalabukhova tallied a regatta low 16 points. The pair of Tangredi and Carew were spectacular, winning four of their six races.
The second team of Martha Schuessler, Peyton Lieser, Malia Johnson and Stella Taherian were only bested by their Rainbow Wahine teammates, finishing second with 23 points, just ahead of third-place UC Santa Barbara. In nine combined races between A and B divisions, the group finished first or second seven times.
