Congratulations to Sally and Crew! On May 15, 2011 the four top U.S. women match racers faced off in a USSTAG qualifying series event to determine the entry priority in upcoming Olympic Women’s Match Racing events. Winning the event was Sally Barkow, Alana O'Reilly and Elizabeth Kratzig-Burnham, whose come-from-behind win over Team Tunnicliffe capped an exciting day of racing in 28-30 knots of wind. By virtue of winning, Barkow will represent the U.S. at the London 2012 Olympic Test Event (Weymouth and PortlandInternational Regatta) to be held at the Olympic venue on July 31-August 13, 2011. --http://sailsheboygan.org/USSTAG-2011.php
