Miami's Arielle deLisser, 18, won the 2010 U.S. Jr. Women's Singlehanded Sailing Championship for the second time, receiving the Nancy Leiter Clagett Memorial Trophy.

A 2008 champion, she pulled ahead of defending champ Molly McKinney of Sarasota on the last race of the two-day event, hosted by the Coral Reef Yacht Club in Miami.

Because of Tropical Storm Bonnie, racing was canceled on July 23, making deLisser the overall winner. She earned four first-place finishes to McKinney's three. Sky Adams of Santa Barbara, Calif., was third.

DeLisser, who sails for the Coral Reef Yacht Club, is a member of the Lauderdale Yacht Club's Laser program. She also sails in the summer at New Jersey's Barnegat Light Yacht Club.

A 2010 graduate of Palmetto High School, deLisser will continue sailing at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, N.Y. McKinney will do the same at Stanford University. Adams will sail for Brown University.

The event featured 46 of the top singlehanded junior women sailors in the United States.
