Winter Park, Here We Come!!!

Well, I am very happy to announce that for the 4th year in a row, BOTH of our Men's and Women's teams have Qualified for the National Championships for Collegiate Ski Racing.

The men finished 2nd both days (.09 out of first for the top 3 combined times in GS), just getting beat out by St. Olaf both days. This was the best result they've had in quite some time, and also the first year in many that they were not on the edges of their seats to find out if they qualified or not.

The women's team kept it a bit more interesting, but came out with a 3rd place finish in Slalom (they were in 4th after the first run, but did a nice job to step it up on run #2) and then made no doubt about their spot, by taking 2nd in GS on Sunday.

It was a great weekend and a great way to go out for some of our Seniors. Jesse won the GS event, after pulling bullet for his 3rd time in 4 years (strangely enough, he also won each year he pulled bullet) and Sherpa found himself at the bottom of a monkey pile on his final collegiate race.

Now we are planning our trip to Winter Park and shooting to improve on our best Nationals finish that we had a couple years ago in Idaho.

Great job everyone!
