Roger Williams University Athletics

Cy Thompson was a four-year member of the Sailing team and ended his career at Roger Williams as arguably the most accomplished student-athlete in school history. In his sophomore year, he claimed the 2008 ICSA Men’s Singlehanded National Championship, the first national championship in program history and the second national championship in Roger Williams history. He finished runner-up at the 2010 national championship and placed in the top ten in his fourth berths at singlehanded nationals. He was the 2011 NEISA Sailor of the Year and was a finalist for the 2011 Everett B. Morris Trophy as College Sailor of the Year. Like Stannard, he was a three-time ICSA Coed All-American, becoming the first three-time All-American in any sport in school history. In addition, he and Stannard piloted the A Division boats that helped RWU win the 2011 ICSA Team Racing National Championship and finish second in the 2012 ICSA/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship. In international competition, he qualified for 2012 Olympics in London and 2016 Olympics in Rio, representing the U.S. Virgin Islands.
