From chilly early-spring practices to fighting for every shift on the racecourse, these seniors have made such an impact on our program. We are so proud of the leaders, teammates, and sailors they’ve become. Though we’re sad to see them go, we are excited to cheer them on their next adventure!

Here’s where they are headed this fall:

* Bleu Strnad of Loyola Academy is heading to the United States Naval Academy.
* Audrey Yen of Glenbrook North is heading to Syracuse University.
* Harrison Cartwright of Glenbrook South is heading to Purdue University.
* * Watson Conant of Glenbrook South is heading to Washington University.
