Boston– Kayla Lynch of Pawling, New York, a 2012 graduate of Canterbury School, was one of 30 crews named to the All-American or Honorable mention team by the Inter-collegiate Sailing Association. The ICSA announced the 2015-16 All American team on June 30th.

Sixty-four sailors were awarded this great honor and their names will be added to the ICSA Hall of Fame display located at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.

Kayla is a recent graduate of Boston University’s College of Fine Arts. She is one of two Boston University sailors to be named to the All American team. It is a prestigious honor for her and Boston University.

“Kayla Lynch is a talented sailor with a tremendous work ethic,” said BU Sailing Coach Stan Schreyer. “When she joined the team she was still learning how to race in college.  Over her time on the BU Sailing Team, she developed not only into one of the team’s best sailors, but to one of the nation’s best sailors.”
