UVM CARNIVAL

The team had a very successful weekend of racing in Stowe this past weekend. The event was combined with an Eastern Cup at the beautiful Trapp Family Lodge venue, so there were 400+ racers on the trail each day, which made for some exciting racing! The weekend also brought a relatively rare racing format to the EISA circuit, a classic sprint. We had some standout top 5 finishes in each event in the heats (Kalle and Hannah Cole), but only the qualifying run counted for the carnival score. Hans had the fastest qualifying time and would have finished 12th in the college race, but was only entered in the open NENSA race. The men's team grabbed a podium spot and finished 3rd on the day scoring Eli, Kalle and Vanya qualifying in 13th, 14th and 17th. The women's team ended up in 8th scoring Hannah Cole, Hannah Benson and Elena in 12th, 17th and 39th respectively.

Day 2 brought the 5 and 10K freestyle races. Some new snow overnight made for a picturesque day at the venue and some great racing. Our men's team finished 2nd on the day with Will leading the way in 4th, Eli 7th and Isaac in 18th. Great job guys! The women finished in 5th with Hannah Cole in 6th,  Hannah Benson in 18th and Olivia in 35th. Great job ladies!
