Second Carnival Updates!

Kelsey Chenoweth did it again in the GS with another 5th place finish! So awesome, congrats to Kelsey on starting off the season with a bang!
In addition to Kelsey's 5th place junior Sierra Ryder placed 14th and junior Hannah Johnson was 27th helping the women's team score a third place for team totals in GS! Go lady bobcats!
On the mens side we had freshman Ryan Clermont place 32nd moving all the way up from bib 78!

For slalom junior Sierra Ryder finished 15th overall and sophomore Michael Cooper had a career best finish in 17th place.

Next stop on our carnival agenda is UVM/Stowe. It will be nice to get on some steeps this weekend as many of our skiers excel on steep hills. Stay tuned for results!

First Carnival Complete- St. Lawrence

Our first carnival of the season is complete, and many great things happened.
To start, senior Kelsey Chenoweth got her career best 5th place in GS! We are all so excited about this. Additionally the women's team placed 4th in GS, which was also amazing after some of our girls' second runs were not quite as good as they can be.

Slalom was interesting considering the snow conditions were bad with slush and weird cross ruts forming. Despite the difficult conditions we powered through, with junior Sierra Ryder placing 11th on second run and 14th overall. On the mens side we had freshman Gaven Chen place 35th overall.

Looking ahead we are excited at the momentum we are building and are all confident that we will continue to improve. This weekend will be at UNH/Cannon, updates to follow.

Almost Carnival Time!

It's almost time for our first carnival of the season so I thought it would be a good idea to show everyone what we have been doing lately- training hard at Sunday River!
Here is a video highlighting some great slalom training we had this past week, enjoy! :)

Winter Updates!

Ski season is now in full swing for the bobcats as we enter the new year.
The first races we have this month are the Nor Ams at Burke mountain and a few races at Whiteface. Along with the races we have some great training set up at Sunday River, and after this huge winter storm we have had here in Maine the conditions are expected to be great!
In other news our team is officially all together now that our two juniors who were abroad (Hannah and Sierra) are back with us.
Everyone is so excited for the carnival season to start as well. The first carnival will be held at Whiteface in Lake Placid NY, hosted by St. Lawrence. Since the first carnival is a little bit later this year we will be taking full advantage of all the training time we have before the college races kick into full swing.

**More updates on race results will be posted as the season progresses, in the mean time Happy New Year!!

Go Bobcats!
