Dartmouth Skiing Completes Unbeaten Season with EISA Championship

RIPTON, Vt. -- The Big Green of Dartmouth completed an unbeaten season
on the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) carnival
circuit today, capturing the EISA Championship at the Middlebury
Winter Carnival.

The Big Green used another commanding performance by its cross
country team to pull away from archrivals Vermont and Middlebury for
the team crown, more than doubling the 30 point first-day lead. Dartmouth totaled 928.5 points to Vermont's 858 and
Middlebury's 833. With the win, Dartmouth finishes the EISA circuit
with a flawless 6-0 record.

At the Rikert Ski Touring Center Saturday, Big Green senior Mike
Sinnott (Sun Valley, Idaho) won his EISA-leading ninth race of the
season, taking the men's 20-kilometer classical technique race in
57:10.0. Vermont's Juergen Uhl was second, just two seconds back in
57:12.2. Uhl was hounded by three more Big Green skiers, junior Ben
True (N. Yarmouth, Maine), sophomore Glenn Randall (Collbran, Colo.) and
junior Ben Koons (Sidney, Maine) in third through fifth places.

In the women's 15-k classical, Vermont's Carina Hamel broke the Big
Green logjam, taking the race in 51:56.5. She was followed by four
Dartmouth women in the top 10 -- junior Elsa Sargent (Orleans, Vt.) in
second place; junior Susan Dunklee (Barton, Vt.) in third; senior
captain Sara Studebaker (Boise, Idaho) in fourth; and sophomore Hannah
Dreissigacker (Morrisville, Vt.) in sixth.

At the Middlebury Snow Bowl the Big Green placed four racers in the
top 12 of the women's giant slalom and three in the top 10 of the
men's GS to seal the team win. New Hampshire's Veronique Archambault-
Leger won the women's race in 2:05.57, less than a second ahead of
Dartmouth junior Michelanne Shields (Colorado Springs, Colo.).
Middlebury's Lindsay Brush was third; Dartmouth senior Lindsay Mann
(Bedford, Mass.), who won Friday's slalom race, was seventh. Senior co-
captain Alex Fucigna (Hopkinton, Mass.) was 11th and freshman Hayley
Jones (Whitehouse, N.J.) was 12th.

In the men's race, Middlebury's Andrew Wagner won for the home team
in 2:00.34. Williams' Eric Mann was second and Dartmouth senior Evan
Weiss (Kenmore, Wash.) was third. Dartmouth junior David Chodounsky
(Crested Butte, Colo.) finished fifth; junior Alex Felix (Cambridge, Mass.)
was seventh.

Next up for the Big Green is the NCAA Championship March 7-10,
hosted by the University of New Hampshire at Bartlett, N.H.
