Five Rainbow Sailors Earn Academic Honors

The Intercollegiate Sailing Association announced its All-Academic Team for 2022-23 with four members of the University of Hawaii sailing team earning spots. Kelsie Grant, Owen Lahr, Taylor Ledgerwood, Trey Summers, and Mercy Tangredi were among the 277 sailors selected nationally for their accomplishments both on the water and in the classroom.

The ICSA All-Academic Sailing Team recognizes juniors and seniors who participated in seven regattas during the season and maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher on a 4.0 scale.

It was the second straight year that Lahr and Grant earned the distinction. Lahr graduated last spring with a degree in finance, while playing an essential role for the Rainbow sailors. The all-PCCSC skipper led UH to a historic win in the prestigious LA Harbor Cup as well as a first-place in Peter Wenner Rainbow Invitational. Grant, who earned her degree in communications, served as a crew member in those wins as well.

Meanwhile Ledgerwood, Summers and Tangredi earned all-academic honors for the first time. Ledgerwood graduated with a degree in travel industry management. Tangredi, a physics major, earned all-PCCSC women's skipper honors, while helping UH advance to the ICSA Women's National Championships. Summers, also a physics major, had a solid junior campaign and was part of UH's win at the LA Harbor Cup.

The sailing program continues their 2023-24 season with the upcoming PCCSC Fall Championships. The Rainbow Wahine squad will compete October 28-29th and coed squad on November 18-19th in Santa Barbara, Calif.
