DILLON, Colo. — Summit County, Colorado hosted athletes from Summit County, Utah on Sunday for the US Sailing Rocky Mountain Junior Olympics.

The regatta results in the Laser Radial fleet found the Park City Sailing’s Calvin Marsh placing third.

In fourth place was Morgan Vesco and in fifth was Turner Underhill, both from Park City Sailing. They train on Jordanelle Reservoir just outside of Park City.

Underhill said, “The Dillon Junior Olympics 2021 was a great event and it was a lot of fun racing against the other junior sailors in the Laser Radial Fleet.”

This event was part of a nationwide series of sailing regattas for youth ages eight to 18. Each event in this family of regattas is hosted by a different club or organization but all events share a common goal to encourage young sailors to enjoy sailing and to develop their skills. Events link Olympic-style competition with elements of learning and fun for all levels from beginning racers to those with Olympic aspirations.

The following fleets competed; Laser Radial, RS Terra,  and RS Feva.

The two other sailors from the Park City Sailing Association were Hudson Underhill and Kyle Bradshaw.
