Jackson, N.H. ? Northern Michigan University took the top three spots
in the women's 5-kilometer freestyle cross country race to claim the
early lead at the 2007 NCAA Men's and Women's Ski Championship.
With the sweep, Northern Michigan leads in the team standings with
189 points after the first day of competition here. Dartmouth stands
in second with 166; the University of Denver is in third with 146.
The Wildcat trio of Lindsay Williams, Morgan Smyth and Lindsey
Weier took all three podium spots, with Williams winning the race in
13:50.4. Smyth was 16 seconds back in 14:06.6, and Weier -- the 2006
Olympian who just last week competed at the World Championships in
Japan -- in third with 14:08.3.
Dartmouth placed all three of its competitors in the top 10, as Elsa
Sargent (Orleans, Vt.) took seventh place,
Sara Studebaker (Boise, Idaho) was eighth and Susan
Dunklee (Barton, Vt.) 10th.
"On a short course like this, you can give it all you've got," said
Sargent. "We were getting some good splits throughout the course, and
we're all very excited about our finish. We're really looking forward
to Friday's [classical technique] race."
Bitter cold and wind delayed the start of today's races by one hour;
at start time the temperature hovered just below zero. But when the
racing began, University of Denver junior Rene Reisshauer returned to
the NCAA medal stand, taking the men's 10-kilometer freestyle race in
24:52.2. Utah's Snorri Einarsson was second in 25:21.6; Alaska-
Fairbanks' Marius Korthauer was third in 25:43.5 Denver and Utah both
placed two racers in the top 10; Denver's John Stene, was fifth and
Utah's Even Sletten finished 10th.
Reisshauer was a double winner at the 2005 Championship, taking both
the 20-k freestyle and the 10-k classical races.
Dartmouth's top finisher was junior
Ben True (North Yarmouth, Maine), who took eighth place
in 26:08.3. Senior
Michael Sinnott (Sun Valley, Idaho) was 18th; sophomore
Glenn Randall (Collbran, Colo.)
23rd.
"The cold wasn't really a factor," said Dartmouth men's coach Ruff
Patterson. "(Tuesday) was much worse in terms of wind and cold.
Actually, today turned out to be a beautiful day. We'd just hoped to
do a little better."
Action continues Thursday with men's
and women's giant slalom competition at the Attitash-Bear Peak ski
area in Bartlett, N.H. For complete race results see http://
