The team stepped up big time for our home carnival to snag fifth and defeat Bates for the first time all season. Lurking a scant sixteen points behind fourth place New Hampshire, the team looks poised to strike at our final carnival of the season this Friday and Saturday.The top finishers in Friday's 10K freestyle race for the purple cows were Christina Perron '07, skiing in her last home carnival, placing 19th with her third top-20 result of the season and Mark Johnson '10 in 25th, leading a pack of three Ephs into the top thirty.
The classic sprints on Saturday were dominated by the Nelson siblings who led both teams with the top placing of the day--Jack '07 snagged 12th place, while Alice '10 finished 13th, leading the men and women to 6th and 4th place team scores, respectively.
