CAMPAIGN SUMMARY
Antoine Screve:

Sailing has been a part of my life since I was just born. My family and I lived on a sailboat just of manhattan beach LA, during my very first years of learning to talk and walk. Later, my family and I moved to Miami, where I learned how to sail the Optimist. I raced the Optimist quite competitively nationally as well as internationally. I qualified for two World Championships, two South American Championships, and two North American Championships. After sailing the optimist I moved on to sail the 420 and 29er. I am currently racing the 29er with Mac Agnese, and we are campaigning to medal in the Youth Worlds in Croatia this summer. We are both on the United States Olympic Development Team and will move on to train in the 49er olympic class.

Mac Agnese:

I started sailing when I was five years old in Argentina, and since then it has been a huge part of my life. After a long 9 year Optimist campaign, in which I represented the U.S. at 2 North American Championships and 3 South American Champioships, the 29er became my main focus. Throughout the past 2 years that I’ve been in the boat, I’ve competed in 2 World Championships, 1 European Championship, 1 North American Championship, and many national events. But the 29er isn’t the only boat that I’ve been racing, I have also competitively sailed catamarans, including F18s at the 2010 U.S. Multihull Championships and SL16s at the 2010 Volvo ISAF Youth Worlds. When not sailing in either class, I’ve made sure not to stray from displacement sailing by finding rides in Melges 32s and TP 52s and also by cross training in Laser Radials. After a great summer of racing in Europe, I became too heavy to be an ideal 29er skipper, which is why this year Antoine and I have combined forces in hopes of placing at the top in international events, including medaling at the 2011 Volvo Youth Worlds in Zadar, Croatia.

2012 High School Pacific Coast Championship

The Branson sailing team has qualified for the Mallory Cup National High School Sailing Championship in a stunning challenge to the traditional supremacy of SoCal high schools. The Bulls qualified by finishing among the top four teams (out of 26) at the Pacific Coast Championship (PCC) regatta held off San Francisco's Treasure Island this past weekend. Featuring thirty races over the two days, Branson took numerous firsts, seconds and thirds to wrap up the Bulls' second qualification for Nationals in the last three years, a testament to the commitment of senior sailors Antoine Screve, James Moody and Sammy Steele. Sailing superbly from start to finish, Branson's success was a complete team effort. While the bigger SoCal schools field huge teams and swap out sailors based on wind conditions and exhaustion, Branson sailed fearlessly and inexhaustibly with only 6 sailors including the three seniors and Sophomores Kennedy Placek and Brent Fagersten, and Junior Isabelle Sennett. The finish among the top four teams was remarkably close, with the Bulls mere points from second place. Each race was tightly contested among the top four schools making all the more noteworthy Screve and Placek's back-to-back first place finishes in consecutive races on Day 1 and Moody and Steele's spot-on Day 2 sailing in which they rarely finished out of the top 3 spots and won one race by a remarkable 21 seconds. The National High School Sailing Championship will be held in Seattle the weekend of May 13. If the Bulls sail with the same fearlessness and excellence they showed at the PCCs, they will contend for the top spot at Nationals.
