Also on Sunday, two of Harvards All-Americans were in action at the Mens Singlehanded Elims at Yale. Doyle and junior Clay Bischoff both qualified for New Englands, which came as no surprise since both competed at the Mens Singlehanded Nationals last year, with Doyle garnering a tenth place finish and Bischoff a fifth place.
