and set the course for the first run. We had the entire course set by about 745 with plenty of time to fill out new scoreboards (we left ours in Providence, though Doug Allen brought them up for the race on Sunday). Women's Team Captain Meaghan Casey (who took down a 95 point race) had this to report back about the women's performance on Saturday:"The women skied solidly on the first run and our top girls- Krista, Sophie, and Anna- once again proved that the team can count on them to perform consistently and consistently well. The women’s team helped maintain the course for the men, as the ruts mounted, and during the lunch break both teams stayed out on the hill to help set second run. A great deal of good team work allowed the Carnival to run smoothly, and the women’s team helped rally and motivate each other for the second run. Proof of this were two stand-out second runs from Elisa and Blaine, who both skied very well and very fast."
With six girls in the top 30 we were happy about their performance. We also had club team member of the men's team alum Nick Moore come back to the mic in order to deliver his crowd pleasing analysis of the
race. While the microphone was not as well positioned as last year and he was not as "inspired" as last year, we did enjoy having him provide us with careful coverage of the race. Thanks Nick. As for the men, DR led the assault with a 135 point race which was the best of his career and better than any slalom points races of a former men's team member during his senior year (he will remain nameless). The men were also unfortunately plagues by three DNF's. We are hoping that the upcoming races at Ascutney will provide them with the chance to show off their SL skills.Thanks to the Consiglios, Taubs, and Caseys for coming out to show their support.
