It's On to the Olympics!!!

In the tightest race imaginable for the Olympic berth, with the need for a tie breaker,  Steph Roble and Maggie Shea beat two prior Olympians in her bid for the Olympics in Tokyo. This event was not for the feint at heart as Roble and Hencken traded good days. It was Roble's consistency versus Hencken's ability to finish top five on any day. What it was? Nerveracking for those of us at home! It all came down to the Medal Race on Saturday ) yesterday evening in Australia.  With the two neck and neck at the last leeward mark,  there was some contact, Roble was the beneficiary of that incident and went on to WIN,  yes, WIN the medal race. And it would take that to  earn the Olympic Berth.  Roble-Shea is the first American team to win a medal at a World Championship in this class.  The gritty team took home the bronze medal.  

So, Lake Beulah, take pride that in two successive Olympics,  Kent Haeger's little band of ragamuffins who sailed in Optis around the world are proud Olympians carrying the Beulah banner high! Watch for more news as it is released.  You may message them congratulations on the Roble Shea Facebook page.

Vicki Clayton won the Dorn Memorial MC regatta with a nail biting last race. Jay Hiller was leading the regatta with one race left 2 points ahead of Vicki. Vicki won the last race solidifying her victory as several boats finished between her and Hiller. The results were tight with Jay Hiller finishing second - 3 points behind Vicki, and Vicki's dad, Rob in third place - only 5 points behind her. 4 races were sailed over the two days to make a great event. Vicki is the second woman to win the Dorn behind Stephanie Roble (who co-skippered the regatta with Annie Haeger) in 2008 . What great company to be a part of! Vicki Clayton Olympics Paris 2024?
