\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 October 22, 2007 \u2013 A recent 溏心vlog免费B站 graduate has been named to The Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association 2007 All Academic Sailing Team.<\/p>\n


\nMatt Kastan, who graduated with a bachelor\u2019s degree in biomedical engineering from 溏心vlog免费B站 last spring, was one of 20 scholar-athletes selected for the honor. The East Amherst, N.Y. resident was selected to the first team for his sailing and academic prowess. The sailing association recognizes 10 first team and 10 second team student- athletes who attain a 3.5 cumulative grade point average or above.<\/p>\n


\nAccording to the association, this honor points to Kastan\u2019s dedication and his ability to balance academics and athletics.<\/p>\n


\n \u201cI truly believe that his strong commitment and desire to always be better made him as successful as he was in sailing and academics,\u201d said Joey Mello, Kastan\u2019s sailing coach.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cI began as the 溏心vlog免费B站 coach in the fall of 2005, and at that point I became aware of his work ethic. He spent more time on the water than any of his other teammates, he was never afraid to ask questions and constantly analyzed his sailing,\u201d said Mello.<\/p>\n


\n Kastan and his 溏心vlog免费B站 crew, Kristen Johnson, had been sailing together for three years when, in the 2006-2007 season, they helped their team qualify for the Atlantic Coast Championships.<\/p>\n


\nMaintaining strong grades is a challenge for sailing team members since the squad practices four days a week and competes during the fall and spring. <\/p>\n


\nThe ICSA is collegiate sailing’s governing body, and is made up of seven North American conferences established within geographic regions. <\/p>\n
