US Open of Surfing: Conlogue falls in quarters; Gilchrist to surf in semis

Sage Hill School graduate Courtney Conlogue failed to advance out of the US Open of Surfing Women’s Pro quarterfinals on Friday near the Huntington Beach Pier.

Conlogue was in a quarterfinal heat with Malia Manuel of Hawaii, who she beat in the 2009 U.S. Open finals. This time, Manuel edged out the heat, 13.20-12.93. Conlogue was in the lead until the final seconds of the heat.

Conlogue, a Santa Ana resident who is ranked No. 5 on the Assn. of Surfing Professionals women’s World Championship Tour, finished in fifth place. The 19-year-old earned 5,200 ratings points and $6,000.

Newport Harbor High graduate Kaleigh Gilchrist, who now attends USC, will be surfing Saturday in the US Open Women’s Junior Pro semifinals at about 1 p.m. Gilchrist is in the second heat, which also includes Frankie Harrer and Bailey Nagy of the United States and Nikki Van Dijk of Australia.

The event finals are at 2:40 p.m. Saturday.
