Trevor Moore

GENEVA, N.Y.—Hobart College senior sailor Trevor Moore (Woodstock Union/Pomfret, Vt.) won both the prestigious Francis L. “Babe” Kraus ’24 Memorial Award, which is awarded to Hobart’s most outstanding senior athletes, and the Most Valuable Sailor Award at the 42nd Annual Block H Awards Banquet on April 30.

Junior Dan Thompson (Mounds View/North Oaks, Minn.), sophomore Austin Kana (Gunston School/Easton, Md.), and first-year John Moulthrop (Hotchkiss School/Middlebury, Conn.) also brought home awards.

Moore has been a standout sailor for HWS from Day 1. A two-time All-American skipper, Moore has competed in five Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) National Championship events, including the Colleges’ 2005 Team Race and Coed Dinghy National Championships. He will sail in two more championship this May. Moore was the sailing team’s rookie of the year in 2004 and its most valuable sailor the past two years.

Thompson was honored with the Class of 1994 Award for exhibiting extraordinary commitment to the welfare of the team. His actions and efforts beyond practice and racing have ensured the current and future success of the team, including helping the team win the Prosser Trophy last season and take second in the regatta this season.

Kana was tabbed the Most Improved Sailor, while Moulthrop was presented with the Rookie Award for Sailing. Kana recently sailed to a first-place finish in the B division of the Moody Trophy, helping HWS to a third-place overall finish at the regatta, while Moulthrop helped the team place second at the Truxton Umsted Regatta, taking fourth in the D division.

The sailors will be back on the water at the end of May. HWS will compete in three ICSA National Championship Regattas between May 23-June 1.
