SAILING TEAM RECEIVES NATIONAL RANKING FOR FIRST TIME EVER

[joesunfish]

Per the Coach's survey in SAILING WORLD Magazine, for the first time in the history of Fordham Sailing, our Coed team has received recognition in the National Rankings. Our Women's team was ranked 18th nationally a few years ago but a Coed ranking is much more difficult to attain since there are app. four times as many schools fielding Coed vis-a-vis Women's teams.

Fordham is ranked 28th nationally  out of app. 211 colleges and universities in the country. The Top 20 are:

1. Yale
2. Roger Williams
3. St. Mary's
4. Boston College
5. Georgetown
6. Brown
7. Charleston
8. Harvard
9. U. S. Naval Academy
10. Vermont *
11. Hobart/William Smith
12. Tufts
13. Boston University *
14. South Florida
15. Old Dominion
16. Washington College
17. Dartmouth
18. Stanford
19. Connecticut College
20. Salve Regina

The other colleges/universities mentioned in order of votes received were:

21. Miami (FL) *
22. Babson *
23. MIT
24. New York Maritime College
25. U. S. Coast Guard Academy
26. Rhode Island *
27. U. S. Merchant Marine Academy
28. Fordham *

There are no national rankings for Club teams (*) but if there were, we would be ranked sixth in the country. The top two, Vermont & BU have professional coaches. I don't know about Miami, Babson & URI.

This is a credit to our student-athletes and the hard work and dedication, which they have invested to make this happen. Congratulations to all of them.
