Bryan won the second run of slalom and Hig second on the first run of gs. The highlight was Andrew fighting back in his second run of GS for the overall win.  His win and strong skiing by Nick (5th), and Hig (7th)gave the men enough points to earn their first team win of the season.  Bryan was also in the top ten.  Four guys in the top ten.  Nice skiing guys.  The nordic team skied well and we ended up third for the weekend overall.

The girls worked hard to move up with faster second runs.  As a group we are working on finding the speed on the first run as well as the second run.  It takes two runs, but on  the positive side…  each of the girls has shown they can be in the top 15 or top ten in individual runs.  Middlebury Carnival on the home hill will be a great place to put two fast runs together.

This week we will fine tune our tactics on the Allen and the Ross and do some technical work as well.

See you all this weekend. Carnival Schedule to come.

With a double session this week and likely a few next week we’re hoping to keep the gang on track to finish out strong in the regular carnival season. We’ve had some good miles on the race hills at the bowl in the last few weeks – full length from both GS and SL start mounds. The guys and girls are looking good – charging the gnarly terrain and pushing hard on the upper flats. While I’m extremely excited for Midd Carnival, we still have the Williams Carnival this weekend to slay at. Let’s Eph it up this weekend Panthers!

]]> http://middleburyskiing.org/2012/02/14/middlebury-alpine-alumni-at-dartmouth-carnival/feed/ 0 Dartmouth Carnival Report: Carni Crushing It All Season http://middleburyskiing.org/2012/02/13/dartmouth-carnival-report/ http://middleburyskiing.org/2012/02/13/dartmouth-carnival-report/#comments Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:45:05 +0000 AG http://middleburyskiing.org/?p=2081 The carnival season is two thirds complete – (a bit more when you consider that next week’s 3x3k relay was cancelled as Williams will move their carnival to Craftsbury.) – and with that milestone the sharpest battles of college skiing come into focus. For us, those battles take a variety of shapes and are set up clearly by the last two days of racing at Dartmouth.

In the skate race, Patrick Johnson notched his fourth carnival win of the season, a convincing 25 second win in fast skiing. Patrick has been amazingly consistent and powerful in his racing. (Otherwise he remains his typically understated, hard-training leader.) A touch stronger in skating, Patrick put together a fine classic effort to finish second on Saturday in a bunch sprint of five skiers- kept company in the lead group by Ben Lustgarten who, after another eighth place performance on Friday was out for more in the classic race. He found it with a hard-fought 5th place.

Seniors Chase Marston and Doug Debold traded strong results: Chase put together a fine skate race on Friday and Doug dug deep to be our third scorer on Saturday. Eliot Neal, learning every weekend in his first year of racing, skied well both days to round out the team. There are a ton of markers to guage a team. I’m proud that for many races we’ve put all of our skiers in the top thirty, an effort that hasn’t happened in a few years for Middlebury and an effort that marks a new goal to put every skier in the top twenty. The men’s team also knocked out a season goal of three in the top ten, a benchmark that will help us focus on repeating that effort through the end of the season.

On the women’s side, our group has been tightly knit on the course and off. This weekend was no exception. Rachel Hall led the team in the skate race with a 15th place finish and the women’s team; Annie, Stella, Heather, Sophie and Hilary were close behind also knocking down the “all skiers in the top thirty” benchmark. The classic race was a great race for our crew. Our youngest skiers struggled against a more experienced women’s field, but skied strongly in the finish of the race, a harbinger of races to come and a great sign for our crew. Annie Pokorny led the team on Saturday with a 16th place but the crew was again clustered. Training shifts to a more “race and recovery” focus. The single shorter race at Williams will suit our women’s team and the last efforts of the season are something I know they’re excited for.

 

Should you be new to the Eastern College racing scene. Should it be something you haven’t experienced, then you’d have no way of knowing that Dartmouth Carnival, with its date proximate to Valentine’s Day, is the home of the Carni Crush, a league-wide exchange of Valentines. As each year gets progressively more complicated, I’m glad we were in our break week in February so the rigors of the schedule were slightly less, which for hip hop dance practice on the women’s side and commensurate mocking on the men’s side. (See photos and video for more.)

 

I know it gets routine to thank parents and supporters but we must. The food continues to be AMAZING. Many thanks. Also thanks to Lander, Stella, & Hannah for the photos below and to Doug (always ready with his phone) for the Carni Crush video.

 

Onward to Williams…
