Meet Lon Gundie Olympic Brand Ambassadors Thomas Barrows and Joe Morris

Thomas graduated from Yale in 2010 and went to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing for the Men’s Singlehanded Laser Class. Born and raised in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, he has always loved being on the water. On the sailing team at Yale, Thomas played a key role on and off the water. He was a two-time captain, was selected as an All-American four times and won the 2007 Singlehanded Nationals. After his senior season Thomas was named College Sailor of the Year. Now sailing with Joe under the US flag, Thomas is committed to winning a Gold Medal for the United States in the 49er class. |

From an early age, Joe had a desire to be on the water. An Annapolis native, and the youngest of five, he was the first in his family to take up sailing and raced anything that was around, old or new, from lasers, 420s, 505s, 470s, 29ers, to J22s. Joe enrolled at Yale University in 2008 and by his graduation he had been lucky enough to be named the 2009 NEISA Rookie of the Year, 4x All-NEISA Team, 4x ICSA All-American, 2012 NEISA Sailor of the Year, 2012 NEISA Senior Award for Sportsmanship & Performance, and the Dave Perry Award for Leadership and dedication to Yale Sailing. Graduating in 2012, two years behind Thomas, Joe left Yale with great sailing memories, but with hopes to win gold in Rio with Thomas. |
