NCAA Championship Teams Named

 The Carnival season ended this past Saturday and for most athletes in the EISA their seasons have ended. However 16 men and 16 women will move on to represent their schools in the NCAA championships at Cannon Mountain. The top athletes from the Carnival season will compete against the RMISA circuit for the first time this season, on March 8-11.

All of Dartmouth’s men, Brian McLaughlin, Tanguy Nef and Tomas Woolson, qualified in the top five alongside Middlebury’s Robert Cone and the University of Vermont’s Will St. Germain.

The same tree schools took the top five women’s qualifying spots as well, with Middlebury’s Caroline Bartlett qualifying first followed by Paula Moltzan (UVM), Foreste Peterson (Dartmouth), Laurence St. Germain (UVM) and Alexa Dlouhy (Dartmouth).

Dartmouth and UVM are also is the only teams to qualify three men and three women and not surprisingly they hold 10 of 20 alternate positions. Sandy Vietze of UVM and Stephanie Currie of Dartmouth are unfortunately listed as first alternates because of the athlete limit, even though they both hold a 6-seed and 11-seed in each event.

A couple of athletes were able to solidify their NCAA bids in the very last Carnival of the season at Bats last weekend. Most Notably, Genevieve Frigon jettisoned in the NCAA ranking with her third place finish in Saturdays slalom and Bates College athlete Michael Cooper made it onto the championship team with a sixth place finish in the GS last Friday.
