PETERSBURG, Fla. – The University of Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine sailing team kept themselves firmly in the hunt following the opening day of racing at the 2026 ICSA Women's Fleet Race National Championship, concluding in 12th place in the Western National Semifinal round.

Hosted by the University of South Florida on the waters of Tampa Bay, the prestigious event features the nation's top 36 women's programs split evenly into 18-team Eastern and Western semifinal fleets. UH, which qualified through an at-large bid from the National Championship Selection Committee on April 28, found itself in the Western semifinals. The fleets completed a total of 12 races, six races across both the A and B divisions, on day one. Brown University leads the pack at the midway point.

The Rainbow Wahine now face a manageable task in making the nine-team cut to advance to the finals. UH has 116 total points, just 10 points out from the current occupier of ninth place in Northeastern which has 106 points. 

Sailing for the Rainbows' A division squad, which finished with 73 points after one day of sailing, placing 13th place in its division. All-conference skipper Martha Schuessler completed all six races with All-conference crew Amanda Turner. The B team, meanwhile, tallied 43 points, good for 8th in its division, anchoring the team's performance and keeping the Rainbows within striking distance. All-conference skipper Stella Taherian raced alongside Elin Reigstad, placing in the top four in three of their six races. Kahlia Bailey and Ann Tokoyoda made the trip as alternates.

More semifinal races are expected to be completed tomorrow, weather permitting, to finalize the field. UH is seeking its first advancement to the finals round since the 2012 season. Fans can follow Saturday's action through the ICSA Scoring website.

The Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) selected Amanda Turner, Arden Rathkopf, Erik Anderson, Kahlia Bailey, Kylie Alexander, and Peyton Lieser to its 2025-26 All-Academic Sailing Team. 

The ICSA All-Academic Sailing Team recognized 255 juniors and seniors from across the nation who participated as a competitor or alternate in at least seven regattas during the season, and had a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher on a 4.0 scale. 

The All-PCCSC skipper-crew pair of Anderson and Turner earned academic honors in consecutive years. The respective mechanical engineering and biology majors are set to graduate this spring semester. The A division mainstay duo sailed nearly every race together for the coed team and found great success within the division. Turner will be joining the women's team for the ICSA National Championship coming up this weekend, May 15-18, in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Rathkopf, Bailey, Alexander, and Lieser all received recognition for the first time.

Rathkopf, a marine biology major, holds the distinction of being the only junior from UH on this year's list. Appearing in exactly seven regattas, his season was highlighted by a contribution in the 'Bows' fourth-place finish at the L.A. Harbor Cup. 

Bailey, Alexander, and Lieser are all expected to graduate this spring, concluding their collegiate careers with the academic distinction. Bailey sailed a majority of her races as a skipper with Alexander at crew. The business major and anthropology and psychology double major, respectively, notably placed second in the A division as a pair at the Jeff Simon Women's Regatta in January. Lieser, a sustainability major, appeared in 13 regattas as a crew.
