USVI Taylor Canfield Part of the Boston College's Winning Team at the 2010 ICSA/GILL National Championship
Light air again foiled the sailing plans of the 18 schools that had trained and competed all year to be able to challenge for the 2010 ICSA/Gill National Championship taking place on Lake Mendota from June 1-3. The championship is the focal point of the college sailing year, and its coveted title has been won by 19 schools over the last 42 years: USC, San Diego State, Tulane, Harvard, Yale, Tufts, URI, UCLA, Kings Point, BU, Charleston, UC Irvine, ODU, Navy, Dartmouth, St. Mary's, Hawaii, Hobart & William Smith and Georgetown. Today a first-time winner of the title - Boston College - joins that fraternity having taken and held the lead position through the first two days of the championship. The title also earns BC another rarer entry in the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association's history books: as the sixth school to win all three spring championships (ICSA Women's Nationals, ICSA/APS Team Race Nationals, and the ICSA/Gill National Championship) along with Navy, ODU, Tufts, St. Mary's and Harvard.

St. Thomas' Canfield Helps BC Retain Lead at 2010 ICSA/Gill National Championship
 |
| Boston College junior skipper Taylor Canfield (St. Thomas, USVI) with senior crew Sandra Williams (Chicago, Ill.) leads the standings in B-Division with 39 points. BC leads the overall standings heading into the final day of competition for the 2010 ICSA/Gill National Championship. | Conditions on Lake Mendota were all over the place for the second and penultimate day of competition at the 2010 ICSA/Gill National Championship. There was a light breeze from the WNW when the first race got underway that climbed up to six knots, and then clocked around to north and then east before a severe thunderstorm warning - indicating the possibility of golf ball-sized hail and damaging winds - kept the fleet ashore for most of the afternoon. Just before 7:00 p.m. CDT, B-Division headed out for race 8B in a northeasterly breeze of 13 knots and light rain. The waning daylight put an end to racing for the day with the scoreboard now reflecting 10 races for A-Division and nine for B-Division. There will be an early start tomorrow as the Notice of Race has been amended to move the competitor's meeting up to 8:30 a.m., with the first warning signal given as soon as practicable thereafter.

Bermuda Sailor Helps St. Mary's Team to Win College Nationals
 |
| St. Mary's skipper Jesse Kirkland (Warwick, Bermuda) with crew Madeline Jackson (Bainbridge Island, Wash.) | Over the three-day Memorial Day holiday weekend, the top 14 schools in the nation - as determined by their performance in one of the seven Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association conferences to which they belong - were in America's Heartland racing for the 2010 ICSA/APS Team Race National Championship title on Lake Mendota. And for one team, St. Mary's College (St. Mary's, Md.), it was a reversal of fortune from 2009 when the Seahawks lost this championship on a tie breaker, to come back and win this year's contest on a tie break with the same team - Boston College. Proving that they are a powerhouse in this format of sailing, the win marks the fifth time the Seahawks have clinched this unique championship which pits each college's three-boat team against another's in a round-robin series of matches.
