ICSA NAMES FIRST ALL ACADEMIC SAILING TEAM
(Norfolk, Va.) November 16, 2006 - For the first time in its nearly
80-year history, the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) has
recognized outstanding scholar athletes with selection to its first-ever
ICSA All Academic Sailing Team honoring men and women who have succeeded
at the highest level - both on the water and in the classroom. Leading
the inaugural team is Sloan Devlin (Mystic, Conn.), Harvard '06, who
achieved a 3.88 GPA in Organic Chemistry while also excelling
on-the-water. Her outstanding performance in competition during the
college sailing year (fall and spring seasons combined) earned her
three-time ICSA All-American ('06, '05, '04) honors.
The inaugural team recognizes nine All-Academic and ten Honorable
Mention student-athletes, nominated by their respective schools for
academic and athletic performance during the 2005-2006 school year. To
be considered eligible for this distinction, the nominee must be a key
starter or reserve, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a scale of 4.00,
and have reached junior standing at his or her institution of learning.
Joining Devlin on the ICSA All Academic Sailing Team are Arlene Chung
(Murrysville, Penn.) - Brown University '06, Jamie Kimbal (Grand Rapids,
Mich.) - College of Charleston '06, Becca Levin (New Haven, Conn.) -
