12 to Represent Dartmouth at 2026 NCAA Championship

HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth skiing has announced the 12 student-athletes that will represent the Big Green at the 206 Skiing National Championship, beginning on Wednesday, March 11 in Utah.

The women's alpine team will feature seniors Carly Elsinger, Emma Resnick, and Zoe Zimmermann.

This will be Elsinger's third national championship and second consecutive for the Big Green. At last year's championship hosted by Dartmouth, Elsinger finished 16^th overall on the giant slalom and 21^st on the slalom.

Elsinger skied consistently on this year's Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) circuit, posting top-ten finishes in ten of her 12 total races. Her best slalom finish was fifth to open the season at the Colby Carnival while her best GS finish was second at UVM.

Resnick will compete in her first National Championship for Dartmouth, having an impressive senior season for the Big Green. Resnick missed her first two seasons due to injury, before making a comeback last season as a junior.

In her senior campaign, Resnick raced in all 12 races, collecting a top-15 finish in all but one. Her first slalom finish was seventh at St. Lawrence, before posting a third place finish, her highest slalom finish of the season, at Williams. Resnick earned her first career EISA win on the Williams GS, finishing in 1:34.75. She also earned two additional GS podiums thanks to third place finishes at the Dartmouth and Middlebury carnivals.

Zimmermann will appear in her third straight NCAA Championship, looking for her third straight First-Team All-American recognition on the slalom and second straight on the giant slalom.

Through the EISA circuit, Zimmermann impressed on the slalom, landing a spot on the podium in five of the six races. She earned second at the St. Lawrence Carnival before winning the next four, being named the slalom leader at the conclusion of the EISA season. On the GS, her best finish was sixth at the Dartmouth Carnival.

Calum Langmuir, Heming Sola, and Oscar Zimmer will represent the Big Green on the men's alpine side.

Langmuir will make his national championship debut for the Big Green after impressing on the slalom late in the EISA season. In his first race of the year, Langmuir cruised to a first-place finish on the slalom at the Dartmouth Carnival, his first EISA win.

He then wrapped the season with a third-place finish at UVM and fourth at Middlebury. Langmuir also competed in two GS races, finishing 21^st and 35^th respectively.

Sola will also make his first NCAA Championship appearance for the Big Green after an impressive EISA season on both the slalom and giant slalom. He claimed top-ten finishes in nine of his 12 races, four of which were spots on the podium.

Sola finished the slalom races with back-to-back second place finishes at both Williams and Middlebury, his best slalom finishes of the season. He opened the GS with third at Colby, before posting his best finish, second at Williams.

Zimmer will compete in his fourth NCAA Championship representing the Big Green and will look to add to his five First-Team All-America recognitions. He claimed fourth on the slalom at last year's national championship and was the run one GS leader.

In this season's EISA circuit, Zimmer was dominant in both disciplines, being named both the slalom and giant slalom leader at the conclusion of the season. Zimmer earned a podium finish in each of his slalom races, adding three overall wins. On the GS, he claimed three podium finishes and four top-fives, including a win at the Williams Carnival.

On the Nordic side, the women will be represented by Ava Thurston, Amelia Tucker and Evie Walton.

Thurston will be making her fourth straight NCAA appearance to round out her senior campaign. In last year's championship, Thurston earned both First-Team and Second-Team All-American honors, thanks to 7^th and 4^th place finishes.

During the 2026 EISA season, Thurston was dominant in both the classic and freestyle races. She earned top-five finishes in each of her six freestyle races, claiming two overall victories and five podiums. In classic races, Thurston was the top finisher in all five of the races.

Tucker will compete in her second national championship, her first since her first-year campaign. The senior skied consistently all year, earning seven top-ten finishes, three of which saw Tucker finish in the top-five.

Her best freestyle finish was fifth at the Middlebury Carnival and EISA Championship while her best classic finish was first at UVM.

Walton will be the final women's Nordic NCAA skier, making her first NCAA appearance. Walton also impressed in both disciplines this season, finishing outside the top-ten just once. In the freestyle races, Walton's best finish was sixth, happening in back-to-back carnivals to conclude the season. She also finished first at Williams in the classic race, but her best individual finish was third at the Middlebury Carnival.

Thurston, Tucker and Walton all skied alongside each other at the 3x5 classic relay at Williams, as the trio claimed first place overall.

Finally, Cooper Camp, Jack Lange, and John Steel Hagenbuch will comprise the men's Nordic team.

Camp will compete in his second consecutive NCAA Championship after earning Second Team All-America recognition in his first championship in 2025. Camp bounced back from a 35^th place finish to start the year in the St. Lawrence freestyle sprint, posting five straight top-ten finishes in freestyle races. His best finish was second at the Middlebury 20K, helping the Big Green to a podium sweep.

In classic races, Camp earned three top-ten finishes, including second in the Williams Relay and third in the Middlebury 7.5K.

Next, Lange will compete in his third National Championship for the Big Green after a consistent EISA season. Lange competed in NCAAs as a first-year and sophomore, earning Second-Team All-America honors in the 2023 classic race.

This season, Lange posted a season high fourth-place finish in the Middlebury 20K freestyle. His best classic finish was eighth, also at Middlebury.

Hagenbuch will round out the 2026 NCAA Championship team, skiing in his fourth straight championship. The senior is a two-time individual national champion, a five time First-Team All-American, and is coming off his first Olympic appearance for Team USA. He won the 7.5K freestyle individual national championship in 2024 and the 7.5K classic in 2025, on his home course.

This season, Hagenbuch competed in only three EISA races but was dominant, earning first place finishes in all three. He led the Big Green to podium sweeps in both races at the Middlebury Carnival, helping Dartmouth to its second straight EISA Championship.

The 2026 National Championship, held in Utah, will begin on Wednesday, March 11 with the Giant Slalom at the Spencer F. Eccles Olympic Mountain Center at the Utah Olympic Park. Nordic competition will begin with the 7.5K classic on Thursday, March 12 at Soldier Hollow Nordic Center.
