This past weekend the Ski Team cruised to another set of resounding victories for the Womens alpine and snowboard racing team.  Senior Meg Del Col stood atop the podium on both days this weekend with Sophomore Olivia Erdman and Freshman Sydney Burton not far behind in 2nd and 3rd.

On the Snowboarding side of things, Senior Rachel Shore continued her dominance with another first place finish at Belleayre, solidifying her victory as the conference champion.

On the Mens side of things there was a little more of a mixed bag this weekend.  Junior Will Sargent not finishing his run on saturday, but having a great day on sunday in slalom with a 7th place finish.  Sophomore Alex Lehmann was unable to race this weekend due to an eye infection and the team missed him dearly.  Freshman Paul Polk had the opposite luck of Will, skiing to a strong 4th place finish on Saturday and then being disqualified on Sunday in the Slalom.

Overall the team is looking forward to their final race weekend where Hunter will host the conference finals.  The men’s team is currently tied with Fairfield College for first and will be anxiously awaiting their results this weekend to see if they repeat as conference champions.  The Ladies already have their victory in the bag for this season, and are hunting bigger prey, the upcoming regional competition in two weeks time in Virginia which will determine what teams qualify for nationals in Oregon this year.  The Women face strong competition from Penn State.  The Men face difficult competition from Penn State and the Naval Academy as well.
