U.S. Junior Championships

With two days of racing complete at the U.S. Junior Championships, JSA sailors are near the top of the standings. After finishing the first day of racing in first place, Pequot Yacht Club's Brendan Kopp (pictured right) is still sailing strong and is in fourth place heading into today's final races for the Bemis Trophy.



In the Laser class, Stamford's Ben Leibowitz is staying close to the top and is in fourth place. American Yacht Club's Cam Cullman, a former Smythe Trophy winner, is in seventh place.



In the race for the Sears Cup, the Pequot team of Andrew Foster, Tim Clark and Charlie Proctor are in second place, just one point ahead of the third place team. While first place may be out of reach, the race for second should be exciting.

-Results from the Beach Point Overnight Regatta should be posted on the JSA website this afternoon.



-Cam Cullman was also busy at the U.S. Laser Championships, which took place in Vermont last weekend. Cullman came in 17th in the full rig class. Larchmont's Trey Brazil and Stamford's Matt Jaykus also participated in the Laser Class.
