One day into the Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) national championships, Stanford stands fifth in the coed dinghy compeition. After the first set of races, the Cardinal coeds have a combined 94 points for a one-point lead over sixth-place Yale.

The current leaders are, improbably, the two schools which received at-large bids to the championships. UC-Irvine leads with 72 points, while Brown is in second with 84; neither school had won a local championship to secure a bid to the ICSAs. The College of Charleston is in third with 86 points and Dartmouth is just behind in fourth with 88.

Scores for the regatta are determined by adding the finishes of the team’s boats across the “A” and “B” divisions. Better finishes in the races produce lower total scores, and the goal is achieving the lowest total score at the conclusion of the events. Stanford is still within striking distance and will look to make up ground over the final two days of racing.

The coed dinghy event is the last portion of the ICSA national regatta. The Cardinal took third in the women’s championship at the start of the week, though Stanford failed to qualify for the team racing championship.
