The 2025 NJISA BBYRA Spring Invitational Regatta saw 15 teams from 10 schools contend for the historic Rooster Flag trophy, as is tradition in BBYRA races for over 100 years. The sailors certainly had their work cut out for them, as a west-southwest wind pumped in for most of the day. The breeze peaked midday over 20 knots, causing a brief postponement of racing. Once the breeze let down, the sailors returned to the water to finish the day. Ultimately, 12 LA2 races were completed by 1700 hours.
There was back and forth racing between the top three teams for the duration of the series. With a consistent last two sets, Christian Brothers Academy's first team pulled out the victory by four points over the CBA second team. Southern Regional was the third place team on a lost tiebreaker with the CBA second team.
In A Division, Southern's Turner Ryon, Belle Placa and Gannon Botwinick finished first, two points ahead of Seton Hall's Ryan D'Orsi and Dean Romain. In B Division, CBA 1's Christopher Small and Alton DeOliveria won by four points over CBA 2's Patrick Kennedy and Jack Slavin.
Thank you to Dave Magno for serving as PRO, Dr. Randall Nunn and Jody Lutz for running the mark boats, and Brian Dellett, Kyle Lombardino, and Carter Henkel for assisting on the water. Thank you to TRYC and the BBYRA for their continued support of high school sailing.
