Tars Sail at SAISA Coed Championships
Rollins competed at the SAISA Coed Championships, finishing ninth in an 18-team field. The regatta featured a two-division scoring format, with racing conditions ranging from light southerly winds to stronger westerly breezes throughout the weekend. In A Division, the team achieved five top-10 finishes led by Milo Miller and Jane McKenzie, including a third-place in race six. In B Division, Caleb Kinnear and Adelaide Matzky recorded eight top-10 finishes, with a standout runner-up performance in race eight. The team now looks ahead to the ICSA National Championship in mid-May.

- The team achieved five top-10 finishes in A Division, including three top-three results.

While Rollins performed well, their ninth-place finish raises questions about their competitive edge moving forward, especially when preparing for the upcoming national championship against stronger contenders.
