Just a few weeks into fall quarter, Justin Cohler, Emily Giudice, Rufus Urion, Jennifer Kim, Kim Wieczner, Michael Cornew, Shannon Oliver-O’Niel and Eric Michel traveled to the University of Illinois at Champaign to compete in the Chief Illiwinek Memorial Regatta, comprising two teams for Northwestern. It was a chilly fall weekend and Saturday morning brought very little air. After each rotation, though, the wind picked up and finished the day at around 20 knots. Sunday brought light wind once again, this time holding steady throughout the day. Northwestern 1 sailed strongly: Cohler finished 2nd overall in the A division and Cornew got nothing but first place in 8 races in the B division, leading Northwestern 1 to win the regatta. Northwestern 2 sailing strongly as well, finishing 4th overall. Arthur Blodgett, the team’s new coach, joined the team for the weekend and offered valuable coaching and advice.
