Past Two Weekend Recap
Hey all,
These past two weekends were a blur with three days of racing at Middlebury, the Dublin Double and regionals at Rumford.
Lets start with a look at the Middlebury triple, on Friday was the mens 15k classic mass start and the womens 10k mass start going second. In the men's race, Braden Becker returned to racing and led the team with a 6th place overall, closely followed by Isaac Freitas-Eagan in 9th, and Jack Consenstein in 10th. Which was good enough to tie for 2nd place with Dartmouth for the team score. In the women's 10k, the conditions changed right at the start of the race and almost everyone in the top 20 was on zeros but unfortunately none of our women were. They still did a great job with the skis they were given and were led by Ingrid Thyr in 23rd place, Sonya Jampel in 31st, and Magdalen York in 32nd. This put the women in 7th place overall for the team score on the day.
Saturday was the mens and womens 10k/5k individual skate races, the warm weather from the day before made for icy fast trails. In the men's race Isaac led the way with another 9th place finish, Nick Gardner was next in 16th, and rounding out the scoring was Evan Carr in 17th. This put the men in 5th on the day in the team score but only 6 points from 3rd. In the women's 5k, the track become really icy on the downhills and there were a fair amount of falls throughout the race. Sonya Jampel led the way for the Ephs with a 18th place, Magdalen York finished in 24th, and rounding out the scoring was Ingrid in 30th place. This put the women in 7th place overall for the team score once again.
On Sunday we had four racers in the eastern cup 10k/15k classic mass start, in the women's race Ivy Spiegel Ostrom placed 36th and Marika Massey-Bierman placed 46th. In the men's race both of our guys fell early on and lost the lead pack but Emil Graf ended up in 13th and Franklin Reilly was 16th place.
This past Friday was the regionals 5k/10k skate individual races where Magdalen York led the way in 24th place (15seconds out of 10th), followed by Ingrid Thyr in 27th, and Sonya Jampel in 29th. This put the women in 7th place on the day for the team score. In the men's race Nick Gardner led the way in 12th place, followed by Isaac Freitas-Eagan in 16th, and Braden Becker in 18th. Putting the men in 6th place for the team score.
Saturday was the 15k/20k classic mass starts, where Ingrid Thyr led the way for the women in 14th, followed by Magdalen York in 23rd, and Sonya Jampel in 33rd. Giving the women a 5th place finish for the team score. In the mens race, Isaac Freitas-Eagan led the way with a 12th place, followed by Evan Carr in 18th, and Jack Consenstein in 21st. Putting the men in 4th place for the team score. Meanwhile on Saturday the Dublin Double Eastern cup was going on where Emil Graf was 5th and Andrew Hull was 10th in the first race of the day which was 3k prologue. In the afternoon they did a 1.5k skate qualifier where Emil Graf won and Andrew Hull finished in 8th! Congrats Emil! Congrats are also in order for our two NCAA qualifiers Braden Becker and Isaac Freitas-Eagan! One last thing to note is Nick Gardner tied for the last spot to go to NCAA's but lost the tiebreaker, tough luck for Nick but keep your head up it was still a heck of a season and you did a great job being a leader on the team!

Sprint Team Goes to Dublin
This past weekend the Williams College sprint squad, pictured below, made the trip to Dublin, NH accompanied by sprint coach Ivy for the first-ever Dublin Double.
The race format was a 3k skate prologue in the morning followed by a 1.5k skate sprint qualifier in the afternoon with no sprint heats. Fueled up on birthday cake from his 20th birthday celebration the night before, Emil posted impressive results in both races, finishing on the U20 podium for the mornings 3km competition and securing an overall win in the 1.5km sprint just hours later. Not many better ways to start year 20 than on the top of a podium!

Fun times with friends!!
Hi all. I am here to sadly announce I forgot to complete my blog post earlier in the month. I hope I can make it up to y'all with several fun pictures, posted below.
Here are the gals waxing!! We love waxing. In fact, it's probably the most fun thing we do on this team. The glory of that glistening black strip of hot wax trailing the iron, the smoky scent of LF 6 filling the air, poppin' jams on the speaker--nothing makes for a better Wednesday night! (detracting, of course, from this experience is all that homework due before the van leaves tomorrow...)
Pictured here is yours truly, equipped with my Nasty-Wax-Particle-Trapper-Mask. Safety first, folks!
(if you have further waxing safety questions, please direct them to Lucy, thanks)
Here are my dearest friends, Siri and Sonya, enjoying a hug in 82 after the Bates Carnival!
Thank you to everyone for making my first season at Willams such an amazing experience! Skiing can be tough sometimes, and I couldn't ask for a better group of friends to accompany me through it all. Super excited for some awesome spring training and I'm ready to cheer on our cows at NCAA's!
GO EPHS. Roll cow. 
(ps. look at this evidence that purple cows really do exist! wow!)

Dartmouth Carnival Recap
Hey all,
This past weekend was the Dartmouth carnival which included a 10/15k skate on Friday in tropical weather and a 3 by 5k classic relay on Saturday.
Friday the women went first and had a really solid day with Ingrid leading the way in 17th, Maggie in 18th, and Sonya in 25th. Putting the women in 4th place overall ahead of Middlebury for the first time this year! For the men's race Braden Becker lead the way in 4th, Jack Consenstein in 10th(career best), and Nick Gardner in 11th. Putting the men in 2nd place overall with only D1 powerhouse UVM ahead of them.
On Saturday, all the slush froze overnight making for some icy fast conditions and our first klister race of the year. The women raced first and were led by the relay that consisted of Ingrid, Maggie, and Sonya finishing in 6th place. In the men's race our top 2 relay teams went back and forth the whole race and by the end it was the relay team of Nick, Braden, and Isaac that led the way just over the relay of Dylan Syben, Jack, and Evan Carr.
Next weekend we head to Middlebury for the first closed carnivals of the year.

UVM Carnival Recap
Hey all,
This past weekend was the UVM carnival at Stowe which consisted of the NCAA race distances on the NCAA race courses giving us a great opportunity to check out the courses before we(hopefully) return in early March. It was another weekend of cold temps but we saw some breakthrough performances as the team is getting stronger each weekend!
Day 1 was the 5k/10k skate races where the women ended up 4th overall led by Sonya in 18th, Maggie York 20th, and Ingrid Thyr 22nd. The men ended up 5th overall led by a strong performance from Isaac Freitas-Eagan in 13th, Nick Gardner 27th, and Evan Carr 29th. It was a solid day for the Ephs but at the team meeting that night it was clear they wanted more.
Day 2 was the 15k/20k classic races where the women ended up 4th overall led by the ever consistent Sonya in 13th, Ingrid Thyr in 16th, and Maggie York in 23rd giving the women a better score than Day 1 and getting closer to Middlebury! In the men's race it was a tough fought battle with Middlebury for 2nd and 3rd overall with Middlebury winning the sprint finishes to just edge out the Ephs. The men were led by Nick Gardner in 12th, Evan Carr 15th, and Isaac Freitas-Eagan in 17th.
Great efforts were given by all this weekend and we are looking forward to the Dartmouth Carnival which includes a relay! As always results can be found here http://barttiming.com/eisa/Results19/uvm19.htm
