Bill Brangiforte Wins North American Championship
Sunday, July 25th, 2010
Mattituck, NY, USA – One month ago, Bill Brangiforte withdrew from the World Championship because of tendanitis in his left elbow. Unsure he could compete in the North American Championship, he decided to come anyway and see how things went. He took a race by race approach and monitored his elbow closely.
This approach proved to be the magic formula for Bill. In the final race of the regatta, Bill had a clutch performance in the breezy conditions that threatened his elbow the most. He finished second overall in the race, to clinch the North American Championship. Bill narrowly beat his long time friend Mark May, who finished the regatta second, 5 points behind. Recently crowned Youth World and Junior North American Champion Jose Guitierrez rounded out the top 3.
