Sailors frustrated by light winds

The seas were calm, too calm in fact, as the coed sailing team had a rough weekend in Charleston.
The freshmen were flying this past weekend for the Dartmouth sailing program, as the team captured yet another team title and qualified for the Freshman Atlantic Coast Championships. Dartmouth coeds wrapped up the Boston University Invitational, besting the field of ten on the chilly Charles River on Sunday.
The Dartmouth sailing teams had another successful weekend as the co-eds claimed the inaugural Lake Champlain Trophy, and the women's team qualified for the Atlantic Coast Championships. The Big Green finished the two-day, ten-team Lake Champlain regatta with 41 points, besting Tufts' 62, Rhode Island's 66 and Vermont's 81. The Lake Champlain Regatta, hosted by the University of Vermont, was marked by heavy winds and high seas. After the first day of sailing, the Big Green pairing of skipper John Diskant '04 and crew Clementine James '05 stood on top of the standings in Division A, although only three points clear of second-place Rhode Island.

It's three weeks into the Ivy football season and only five league games have been played. Yale (2-1, 1-1) and Dartmouth (1-2, 1-1) are the sole teams to have played in two Ivy contests, and with each splitting their results, it's fair to say that the league title is still within reach for each school.
