UNH Carnival and Cranmore Eastern Cup

This past weekend was the UNH Carnival and an Eastern Cup slalom at Mt. Cranmore.  Unfortunately due to awful weather and unsafe conditions the GS was cancelled on Friday. That left us with just the slalom that was doubled for team scoring for the weekend.  While we had much nicer weather the course conditions were still rugged.  The men had a tough day with two DNFs and the rest failing to make the top-60 to qualify for the second run.  On the women's side the day went quite a bit better.  Avril Dunleavy '15 led the women with two solid runs to finish 9th.  Emily Hayes '15 enjoyed her first start in the first seed and followed up last weeks outstanding result with a 10th place finish.  Anne Rockwell '14 rounded out the scoring, finishing in 22nd.  Overall the women finished 4th as a team.

On Sunday we moved across the valley to Mt Cranmore for an Eastern Cup SL.  Katie Fitzpatrick '15 battled back after a tough start to the carnival season to lead the team with a 5th place finish.  Emily Bamford '15 and Anne Rockwell '14 also had strong results finishing 9th and 10th respectively.




Thanks to Cathy and Michael Hayes for housing the ladies this weekend and thanks to all the parents that provided a spectacular lunch for the team and coaches this weekend.

Next we are off to Stowe for the UVM carnival. Go Bobcats!
