 Leo Boucher ’23 claimed the Glen S. Foster Trophy for the second time in his career Sunday afternoon as the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) Men’s Singlehanded National Champion. Boucher put up a 27-point victory at the two-day 2021 ICSA Men’s Singlehanded Nationals hosted by the Severn Sailing Association in conjunction with the U.S. Naval Academy.

“Leo works incredibly hard all year to be able to compete at this level. He has now become one of only five men to win this championship multiple times,” Director of Sailing Bill Ward said.

 Boucher brought home the Foster Trophy back in 2019 as a sophomore when he edged Richard McCann ’22 of the University of Miami, 65-68, for his first ICSA singlehanded national championship title. As a first-year, he earned the George Griswold Trophy as the national runner-up. Boucher then took a gap year from St. Mary’s College in 2020-21 and was unable to defend his 2019 title.

This is the 17th national college sailing title in the history of St. Mary’s College sailing. Check out the full story.
