NCAAs

NCAAs wrapped up with the 15/20k skate at Black Mountain today. Denver came away with the win, with Colorado and New Mexico in 2nd and 3rd. UVM gave a noble effort, flirting with a championship for the first 3 events before dropping back to 5th today. Pretty impressive nonetheless, considering that they were 2 skiers short of a full team. Overall, a good week for the East. In classic, 5 women in the top 15 and a win for Juergen Uhl in the men's race. Today, 4 women in the top 10 and 7 men in the top 20. As importantly, only 6 Eastern skiers outside of the top 30 in 4 races. The West is still dominant, but the East held its own. We'll pick up spots for both men and women next year - good news for all of us. Congratulations on some great racing, EISA folks.
