ST. MARY’S CITY, Md. – The St. Mary’s College of Maryland varsity coed sailing team is currently looking for enthusiastic athletes to join; no sailing experience necessary! However, a positive attitude, readiness to learn, competitive spirit, and athletic nature are desired. The Seahawks compete in both the fall and spring seasons. An interest meeting will be held on Sunday, September 1 at noon at the waterfront.
The SMCM varsity sailing team is no stranger to high stakes competition, having won over 15 national championships and produced over 150 All-American athletes. Notably the Seahawks have also earned an international reputation through post-collegiate sailing and coaching. Three Seahawk sailors and one coach have participated in the Olympic Games, with one of those sailors earning a silver medal. Additionally, two alumnae are Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year!
As mentioned above, no sailing experience is necessary. Sailing is a lifelong sport that can be picked up at any age. Many Seahawks have joined the sailing team with no prior experience, and have had tremendous success in college sailing and beyond. Including, three recent graduates, Rachel Ryan (’15), Hannah Chapman (’17), and Kaisey McCallion (’18), who first sailed at SMCM and still sail today. In college sailing, we sail small two-person dinghies so having good coordination and balance are the keys to being a successful crew.
If you are unable to attend the interest meeting on September 1 at noon, contact Coach Allison Shane at x3039 or at awshane@smcm.edu. Additional information can be found at dev.smcm.edu/waterfront/sailing/.
ST. MARY’S CITY, Md. – St. Mary’s College of Maryland is pleased to announce the appointment of Allison Shane as assistant varsity sailing coach. Shane grew up sailing in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and taught at Duxbury Yacht Club and Duxbury Bay Maritime School (DBMS) for several summers. She graduated from St. Mary’s College in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in public policy and competed on the varsity sailing team for all four years.
Shane helped lead the Seahawks to a second-place finish at the team race national championships, received Academic All-American honors in 2015 and was selected to All-MAISA honors. She was an active member of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) from 2012 – 2015.
Director of Sailing Bill Ward couldn’t be more excited to have Allison working with the Seahawks, “Al was such a heady player as an undergraduate–she studied the game and will undoubtedly improve the students’ experience and performance.”
Prior to her return to intercollegiate athletics at her alma mater, Shane worked at Allianz Asset Management as an international benefits specialist. Shane is looking forward to returning to the county and getting back on the water. She states, “I am excited to share my experiences with the student athletes and also encourage college hopefuls to come to St. Mary’s College.”
