Sailing

Palmer Trinity siblings Brayden and Kyla Benesch were outstanding at the Cressy National High School Sailing Championships, organized by the South East Interscholastic Sailing Association (SEISA) District and hosted at the Southern Yacht Club in New Orleans.

Brayden is a senior and Kyla a freshman.

The regatta featured 36 young competitors from various schools in two exciting days of racing.

Kyla Benesch won the gold medal in the ILCA 6 Girls’ Division, securing her position as the top-ranked high school sailor in this division nationwide. Brayden Benesch earned the silver medal in the ILCA 7 Division and holds the ranking of second-best high school sailor in the ILCA 7 Division in the United States.

Since 1990, the Cressy National High School Championship has been designated by the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA) as the ISSA National Singlehanded Championship.

“We are very proud of what Kyla and Brayden accomplished at this recent sailing event,” said Patrick Roberts, Head of School at Palmer Trinity. “The fact that they are siblings was also special, and we look forward to watching how they both progress.”
