Waterville Slalom

Today we were on the piste at Waterville that played host to nearly a dozen World Cup races. The many knolls make for interesting course sets that change widely from race to race. We had two solid courses for both the men and women on each run.

I am writing this recap several days after the event, so my memory of both runs is a bit hazy. I do recall solid performances by most of our girls and guys. There were a few slip ups on both sides, but overall we had some strong effort. DR and Adam had some of their best runs of the season. The women took a fourth place finish and Krista Consiglio won that race by nearly a second!

This weekend also saw the return of the self proclaimed "People's Captain "Antonio del Balzo from his winter break trip to Verbier. His British accent and humor were well appreciated additions to the ski team. Tseveta Krumonova was also excited to return to the women's team after a two month sailing journey in the South Pacific. Welcome back!

A special thanks to the Taub, Casey, Bengtson, and even Marley-Mauzy (Janey Marley Mauzy's '07 mother and sisters) families who braved the heated tent outside to come and show support for the team.
