First Two Carnivals Recap!

Our team has been battling a host of different illnesses going into the carnival season but we are getting stronger every day!

Harvard Carnival Recap
Day 1 - 5/10k individual skate race

This entire weekend was defined by really cold weather and a very firm track.  The women went first and were led by our underclassmen with freshman Lilly Bates in 31st, freshman Hadassah Lurbur 39th, and sophomore Siri Bohacek 42nd.  In the men's race junior Woody Martineau led the way in 45th, followed by junior Henry Mcgrew in 48th, and freshman Jacob Jampel in 49th.  

Day 2 - 15/20k Classic Mass Start

Once again in the women's race we were led by our freshman with Hadassah Lurbur in 29th, Lilly Bates 38th, and senior Ivy Spiegel-Ostrom in 41st.  In the men's race Henry Mcgrew finished in 14th for a career best, Jacob Jampel in 25th, and senior Dylan Syben in 46th.  

Between Alpine and Nordic, Williams ended up in 7th place as a team overall.  

UVM Carnival Recap
Day 1 - Classic Sprint

This weekend was defined by much warmer conditions and wax played a little bigger of a role in the results.  The races were also combined with the supertour and eastern cups making for really big and competitive fields.  For the women, senior captain Ingrid Thyr led the way in 28th, sophomore Siri Bohacek was in 34th, and freshman Hadassah Lurbur in 35th.  In the men's race senior Dylan Syben led the way in 16th, junior Emil Graf was 18th, and senior Jack Consenstein was 20th.  

Day 2 - 5/10k skate individual race
In the women's race Ingrid led the way in 32nd, Lilly in 36th, and Hadassah in 43rd overall.  In the men's race Isaac Freitas-Eagan came back from sickness and placed 4th place, Henry Mcgrew in 16th place, and Jacob Jampel in 21st.

Between Alpine and Nordic, Williams finished in 6th place overall.

Next we head to Quarry Road for the Colby Carnival!

According to One Williams Student, Squinting is "Never an Option"

Williams College Associated Press

Although sunlight may seem to some just an innocuous summertime companion, members of the Williams Ski Team take sun protection seriously. Snow blindness? Never heard of her. Squinting? Not on our turf. When the sun is out, our sick shades come to town. 

Here is a remarkable display of just how many different pairs of sunglasses one Eph owns. How do those all even fit in her locker? (see previous post) 

Fun activity: one of these pairs is not mine. Tell me which one it is and you get a prize**

**whoops typo i meant "pride" you get your own pride hahah gotcha
