The women went out first, with Bates having a strong showing. Nat finished 2nd, followed closely by Beth in 3rd. Sophie came in 6th, followed by Captain Abby (8th) and Kirsten (9th). Gretchen finished just outside the top-ten, barely missing out on All-State honors. Meg, Kelsey, and Ingrid all finished in the top-20 for the Bobcats as well. In the team scoring, the women narrowly took the lead for Bates.
Early on for the women. (Thanks to Connor Cushman '09 for snapping some pictures)
At noon, the men took off. In the men's race some Maine Winter Sports Center athletes mixed it up with the collegiate skiers. The Bobcats again skied strong, with Captain Harry leading the way with a 3rd place finish. Lucas was close behind in 4th, and Corey rounded out the top-10. Cooper, Dan B, Nate, and Jimmy all finished in the top-20 as well. Ultimately, Colby edged Bates for the overall team title, and the Bobcats had to settle for 2nd. It was a great team effort from everybody, and there were some standout individual efforts. Thanks again to all the parents who brought food and cheering! Now its time for all of us to gear up for the UVM Carnival/Eastern Cup weekend in Stowe, VT!
