The Kansas sailing team had a strong showing over the weekend at the Fall Fury Intersectional in Madison, Wis. The Jayhawks finished third among a field of 12 teams.
Minnesota won the race and Wisconsin won a spot ahead of Kansas. Other teams that finished behind Kansas were Michigan, Ohio, Miami of Ohio, Michigan State, Vanderbilt, Marquette and Iowa.
In college sailing, a captain and a crew person sail the boat, which is approximately 14 feet long. Teams are split into two divisions, A and B. Sailing for the Jayhawks were Tim Pitzgerald, Wichita senior; Alli Jones, Bloomington, Minn., freshman; Scott Dalin, Overland Park senior; Anna Majic, Chicago sophomore, and Kelly Holloway, Wichita senior.
The Kansas team's A division finished in first place after 12 races. Despite leading
through the first day of competition, the A division sailers, Fitzgerald and Jones, quickly lost ground on the second day of racing. The second-to-last race became a pivotal situation for the sailing Jayhawks. They had to finish ahead of the
Golden Gophers of Minnesota by at least two spots to claim first place in the A division. Kansas won the race by about six feet in a tight finish.
"It was an edge-of-the-seat deal for our teammates who were watching," Fitzgerald said.
The Kansas B division finished in seventh place overall after 12 races.
Fitzgerald said much of the club's success was attributable to volunteer alumni sailors from the Kansas City area who were brought in to
help coach the athletes.
"This year is also the first we've had organized weekly practices," Fitzgerald said. "Lots of good things are happening with this team."

Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil said she couldn't have been any happier with the team's performance.
"We had a good start and played real well in the second and third rounds," O'Neil said. "I was excited that we broke 300. It was a good trip overall."
Kansas fired a round of 297 in the third and final round of play.
Other Big 12 Conference teams included Baylor, Nebraska and Colorado.
The Bears took the first place team crown. Baylor golfers Sian Reddick and Joseph Svenningsson tied for first place individually with three-round totals of 210.
New Mexico, Fresno State, Long Beach State and Colorado State rounded out the top five respectively.
Nebraska finished seventh and Colorado placed tenth in the tournament.
