The day after the announcement that their program would retain its varsity status, women’s sailing took off to Annapolis, Md. to compete in the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) Women’s National Championship. The Cardinal took fifth overall out of 18 teams competing in 16 races over Wednesday and Thursday.
Sophomore skipper Michelle Lahrkamp, the 2020 National Women’s Sailor of the Year, was joined by junior Sammy Pickell in the Division A boat. The pair started strong with a third place finish in the first race, and later captured two second place finishes in the fifth and 10th rounds. With their lowest score of the day of 12th in the sixth race, Lahrkamp and Pickell finished the first day’s 10 races in third place with 61 points, with 26 points separating them from first-place Boston College at 35.
The nation had not yet been catapulted into World War II.
In Youngstown, there was squabbling over accusations of voter fraud. British teenagers boys and girls were gearing up for military service. In Canton, Lillian Herman, the 47-year-old wife of Trinity Lutheran Church Pastor E.C. Herman, died tragically from a cerebral hemorrhage.
That same day, the city also received a new resident, Don Stock.
To mark his 80th birthday, Stock s granddaughter Jessica Morford bound 80 front pages of the Canton Repository into book form one Jan. 29 edition of the front page from each year from the past last 80 years.
Stock, who shares a birthday with President William McKinley, said his granddaughter, who grew up in Shaker Heights and now lives in Denver, surprised him with the book in February.
