The top 4 schools from Saturday's racing will automatically qualify for Kathryn Hammond @ Texas. Schools that do not qualify should contact me about filling an alternate berth.
If your school intends to try and qualify for Navy Fall please let me know. If there is no SEISA interest in Navy Fall I am going to give our berth to another district since there is a wait list for that regatta. I strongly encourage all SEISA schools racing on Saturday to stay for the 2x2, this is only going to become more common at SEISA events. I will be sending more 2x2 information this week and next.
