Westminster Sailing Claims Gold

Hosted by Jacksonville University, the competition was struck by storms in the area, which despite the resulting rough seas, created ideal sailing winds.

The duo of Olivia de Olazarra and Natalia Gagliano teamed up to outlast their competition and take home first place for the Lady Warriors.
