Tulane has Four Selected for 2023 Fall Sailing National Championships

NEW ORLEANS – Four members of the Tulane University sailing team were selected to compete in the 2023 College Sailing Fall National Championships, the National Selection Committee announced Tuesday.

Green Wave freshman Hamilton Barclay was named as an automatic conference qualifier for both the Match Race National Championship and the Open Singlehanded National Championship. He will be joined for the Open Singlehanded National Championship by senior Thad Lettsome who earned an at-large selection.

In the Women's Singlehanded Championship Tulane will be represented by a pair of freshmen on the water. Ava Anderson earned the automatic conference qualifier for the championship and Oakley Cunningham was named as an at-large selection.

The College Sailing Open Match Race National Championship will be held in Charleston, South Carolina, from November 3-5.

Tulane will host the Open and Women's Singlehanded National Championships on Lake Pontchartrain from November 11-12.

The National Championship Selection Committees are charged with selecting the most competitive field of At-Large Candidates for the National Championships. To be eligible, candidates must have competed in a corresponding Conference Championship in any ICSA conference. Selectors must honor the finishing order at any respective conference championship; to select the fourth-place sailor in a conference, they must also select the second and third place candidates.

Criteria for selection at the Open Singlehanded and Women's Singlehanded include performances at ICSA Single and Doublehanded regattas throughout each candidate's ICSA career. Non-ICSA events may not be considered, and geographical distribution is also not to be considered. This method is the same for the Match Race selection process, where performances in Match Race and Doublehanded ICSA regattas throughout each candidate's career are considered. Non-ICSA regattas are again not considered for selection. As in every year, the field of candidates was extraordinarily deep, and the committee worked diligently to determine the most competitive field of at-large candidates.
