SAILING
UH COEDS NO. 1
The University of Hawai'i coed sailing team is ranked No. 1 in Sailing World's preseason collegiate poll.
The Rainbows will be led by senior All-American Bryan Lake, who last spring became just the second skipper in dinghy nationals history to win the "A" division three times.
"There's a long way to go, but it's always an honor to be ranked No. 1," said Andy Johnson, who begins his 17th year as UH head coach. "The fact that USC is ranked second shows the national respect for our district."
The coed team and women's team, ranked No. 14 in the preseason poll, open the season Oct. 1.
