Alana O’Reilly has accepted Head Instructor at for the 2009 summer sailing season at Charleston Community Sailing. “I am very excited that Alana will be working at Charleston Community Sailing,” said Koenig. “She’s a great coach, sailor and a wonderful role model for local youth in our community. Alana grew up in our programs and is able to give back to a program that helped her be so successful!”
O’Reilly graduated from the College of Charleston in May 2006, with a degree in political science, concluding a stellar four-year sailing career. She was named the 2006 Quantum Female College Sailor of the Year after leading the Cougars to the Women’s Dinghy National Championship over the runner-up Hoyas. A two-time All-American, O’Reilly also received the honor in 2005 when she helped Charleston to a second-place finish at the women’s dinghy nationals. As a sophomore, she was an honorable mention All-American and was given the Charleston Women’s Sailing Award, given to the most outstanding female sailor over the age of 18 in the Charleston, S.C. area. In September 2006, Alana became the Assistant Sailing Coach at Georgetown University.
