Dartmouth Ski Team Wins Fourth Straight Carnival

HANOVER, N.H. -- The Dartmouth ski team made it four in a row Saturday,
winning its home carnival here and improving to 4-0 overall on the
Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) season. The Big Green
expanded Friday's lead to win the carnival with 722 points; the
University of Vermont placed second with 695 points, and Middlebury
College was third place with 636 points.

Back at Stowe, Vt., for the cross country relays, the Dartmouth trio
of Ben True (North Yarmouth, Maine), Glenn Randall (Collbran, Colo.) and Mike Sinnott (Sun Valley, Idaho) thundered away from the
pack to win the 3x10-kilometer freestyle relay in 1:18.49, two-and-a-
half minutes ahead of second place Vermont and three minutes better
than third place St. Lawrence.

It wasn't quite so easy for Big Green
women, though. In the 3x5-kilometer freestyle relay, Middlebury led
after two legs, but Dartmouth's Hannah Dreissigacker (Morrisville, Vt.) took over from
teammates Susan Dunklee (Barton, Vt.) and Sara Studebaker (Boise, Idaho) and closed the gap to win
by nearly seven seconds, in 46:24.0. Middlebury followed in second,
followed by Vermont.

This was the third straight year that the cross country portion of
the Dartmouth carnival was relocated, but Studebaker found the team
to be unaffected by the change of venue. "Getting out of Hanover has
made us a little more relaxed," said Studebaker. "We've all worked
really hard, and it's exciting to be finishing this well."

At the Darmouth Skiway, Vermont's Kara Crow and Greg Hardy won the
men's and women's slaloms.

Crow came from third place after the first run and leapfrogged
Dartmouth's Lindsay Mann (Bedford, Mass.) and New Hampshire's Veronique Archambault-
Leger to win with a combined time of 1:45.48. Mann took second place
in 1:45.82 -- her best career finish -- and Williams's Jenna Durham
placed third.

On the men's side, Hardy overtook first run leader David Chodounsky (Crested Butte, Colo.) of Dartmouth to win in 1:35.54. Chodounsky, who won Friday's slalom,
was six hundredths behind Hardy; Vermont's Zachary Brown was third.

The EISA carnival circuit moves to Williamstown, Mass., next weekend for
the Williams College Carnival.
