AUSTIN, Texas--The Hobart and William Smith Colleges sailing team captured its second Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) Championship in less than a week on Lake Travis this afternoon. The Colleges laid claim to the 2005 ICSA/Gill North American Coed Dinghy Championship, three days after winning the program's first title, the ICSA/Layline North American Team Race Championship.

Sailing for HWS in the A Division were skipper and graduated senior John Storck (St. Anthony's/Huntington, N.Y.) with sophomore crew Amanda Markee (Torrey Pines/Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.) and junior Zack Goldman (Lutheran/Huntington, N.Y.). Sophomore skipper Trevor Moore (Woodstock Union/Pomfret, Vt.) with junior crew Augusta Nadler (Tabor Academy/Marion, Mass.) sailed in B Division. Junior Molly Lawson (Noble & Greenough School/Duxbury, Mass.) served as a crew for two races in both the A and B divisions.

The Colleges entered the final day of racing with an 11 point lead over second place and defending champion Hawaii. While the Rainbows erased that margin plus-one in the A Division, Moore and Nadler left the field in their wake in the B Division. The duo sailed to a first, two seconds, and a sixth to win B-Division with 83 points.

HWS finished the regatta with a combined 197 points for the win, 38 better than Hawaii. The contingent from Dartmouth College, which included Storck's younger brother Erick '07, placed third, while Georgetown and Southern California rounded out the top five.

Entering this week, HWS had never won an ICSA Championship in 22 attempts.
