Nick Mueller posts a pair of top-5 race results, finishes 10th overall at Open Singlehanded National Championship

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Competing against 17 of the nation's top individual sailors, sophomore Nick Mueller finished fourth in the seventh race of Open Singlehanded National Championship, hosted by South Florida at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club in St. Petersburg, Florida, and fifth is the 13th and final race of the weekend to secure 10th place overall.

Mueller is the first Cal Maritime sailing student-athlete in the program's recorded history to compete at the Open Singlehanded Championship.

By virtue of winning four individual races, Webb Institute's Daniel Escudero ended his weekend in first place and captured the Glen S. Foster Trophy.

Mueller will rejoin his teammates as they prepare for the PCCSC Fall Championship, hosted by UC Santa Barbara at Santa Barbara Harbos this weekend.

This is the last event on Cal Maritime's fall schedule; the team will return to competition during the holiday break when it visits Long Beach, California, January 4-5 for the annual Rose Bowl Regatta, hosted by USC.
