The slalom was dramatic. Pressure was on. Laurel was skiing great and made a small error which ended up in a straddle/hiking situation. Tough break for such an amazing season. We are still very proud of her and what she managed to do with her team this winter!
Geordie put in a smoking first run, which placed her in fourth right ahead of Kate of UVM and Annie of Dartmouth. The three girls were behind three Utah athletes and planned to lay it on the line to make sure to have an eastern podium. Kate managed a great race and wound up first. Geordie got held in the start for a long time but put her game face on and went after the second run. Things didn't quite add up and she moved back a bit but it was a great effort and a great fight. We are also very proud of Geordie and all she has managed to accomplish this season. It has been pretty phenomenal. Great work!
