US SAILING has announced the members of its 2005 World University Games Team. The four-member Sailing Team from the U.S. and a coach will travel to Izmir, Turkey, for the World University Games which will be held August 11-21. The U.S. will be represented by a total of four sailors in two Olympic classes: two competitors each in the Laser (a singlehanded boat for men) and the Laser Radial (a singlehanded boat for women). The sailing competition will take place from Monday, August 15 through Saturday, August 20.

Organized every two years by the International University Sports Federation (FISU), the World University Games bring together thousands of top-level collegiate athletes from around the world to compete in at least 10 sports (the number of sports fluctuates every Games). This year, 15 sports will participate in the Games, marking the second time that sailing is part of the Summer World University Games since FISU organized the first Games in 1959. USA sailors won a bronze medal in 1998, when the Games were held in Palma, Spain.

The four sailors named to the 2005 U.S. World University Games Team – Sailing are
• Andrew Campbell (San Diego, CA),
• Anna Tunnicliffe (Norfolk, VA),
