EISA Alpine Skiers of the Week: Dartmouth's Brian McLaughlin and Claire Thomas

Week 5: Williams Carnival

This week's EISA Alpine Skiers of the Week are Brian McLaughlin and Claire Thomas. Their excellent races in both GS and SL this weekend helped Dartmouth College on its way to the overall carnival victory.

McLaughlin won both the GS and SL races at Jiminy Peak and Berkshire East this weekend, a first for the Dartmouth senior. He bested the runners-up in each race by nearly half a second.

It's not an easy thing to ascend the results sheet during Carnival season, especially as a first-year (and in two events!). Thomas earns her first EISA Alpine Skier of the Week for finishing fourth in both races this weekend.
