Advertiser Staff
The University of Hawai'i Wahine sailing team won both the A and B divisions of the Bryson Women's Intersectional in Redwood City, Calif., last weekend. The Wahine, ranked seventh in the Sailing World magazine college poll, finished ahead of host Stanford, California, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, Washington and UC Santa Cruz.
Marin Diskant, Kili Chivers, Renee DeCurtis and Sarah Hitchcock won the A division race, and Jennifer Warnock, DeCurtis and Hitchcock teamed for the B division victory.
The Wahine and coed teams will compete this weekend on the Mainland.
The UH sailing program will be holding a fund-raiser tomorrow through Tuesday in a partnership with Leonard's Bakery. Fifteen percent of all sales at the Leonard's Jr. malasada wagon in the Kailua Daiei parking lot will go toward the Wahine and coed teams to help defray travel costs.
For more information on the fund-raiser, call head coach Andy Johnson at 956-5177.
