All-American Sailor

Emily Reich of Oak Bluffs was named to the 2011 Intercollegiate Sailing Association All-American Team earlier this month. Ms. Reich, a crew member who competes in co-ed sailing, is a junior at Old Dominion College in Virginia. She is one of just 20 collegiate sailors to be selected as an All-American Crew member this year.

According the ICSA Web site, selection criteria for crews are based upon overall competition record, boat handling skills, leadership qualities and “proven ability to improve the results of the skipper(s) with whom he or she sails.”

Ms. Reich’s name will be added to the ICSA Hall of Fame plaque at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
