Five member teams from the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools (TCIS) arrived at 2:00PM at Mill Creek for their annual Championship to find a beautiful fall afternoon with temperatures in the low 70's. Seas were unfortunately flat, sometimes glass like. Sailors had a brief postponement when they got to the course until the winds picked up from the NE at 4-5mph with gusts to 8mph and sailing commenced. We had another brief postponement on the water with a lull, wind and course changes, and sailing resumed with 4-6mph westerly wind and gusts to 11mph. At 5PM the racing was called for the day.
The TCIS format is 3 division combined division racing. Four races were completed on a W-4 course. One protest was heard resulting in a DSQ for Norfolk Academy for fouling a fellow competitor while jibing.
Norfolk Collegiate captured first place with 59 points, followed by Norfolk Academy with 62 points in second, and Norfolk Academy with 66 points in third.
TCIS Annual Awards are as follows:
TCIS All-Conference (Note: We had 8 All-TCIS recipients this year because of a tie in the voting) James Allgeier - Norfolk Academy Marin Soderberg - Norfolk Academy Parker Moore - Hampton Roads Academy Kiana Beachy - Norfolk Collegiate Sabrina Casagrande - Norfolk Academy Josie Brindley - Hampton Roads Academy Maddie Murphy - Norfolk Collegiate Finn Bohan - Norfolk Collegiate
