FALL FURY @ WISCONSIN | 9/7-9-8

On the weekend of September 7th and 8th, Wisconsin hosted the Fall Fury regatta, with 13 teams competing. Charlie Herrick ('26), Kerstin Hyer ('25), Seamus Hendrickson ('26), Adam Pickhardt ('27), Nigel Yu ('27), and Ryan Tatelbaum ('25) competed in the open berth. In the women's berth were Mary Castellini ('25), Paige Kurtenbach ('27), Marissa Tegeder ('25), Maddy Netzer ('26), and Sydney Mandell ('26). The conditions on Lake Mendota were fantastic. On the first day, winds from the north started at 12 knots but lowered to 5-7 knots throughout the day. Waves were persistent in the morning but lessened as the day went on. On the second day, the water was flat and winds from the west started light with 5 knots and built to 11 knots by the afternoon. The open berth got 1st place overall, and the women's berth got 2nd place overall! Big thanks to our regatta coordinators Carmen Lineer and Cater Harms for running a smooth regatta, our coach Ian Beckley for being a great PRO, and our judges Michael Lusty, Paul Murray, and Fields Gunsett. Go Go Wisco!
