US Nationals 50k

Bowdoin was well-represented at the US Nationals 50k in Fort Kent today - Spencer, Walt, and Tim all raced, as well as former assistant coach Ollie Burruss. Sounds like tough conditions made the race a bit of a grind, but our guys showed well. Walt skied a steady race to finish 19th, close behind an elite group of skiers. Spencer, Tim, and Ollie skied in a pack with a couple other guys for the majority of the race until Spencer pulled away with a smoking final lap - he finished in 20th, about a minute and a half behind Walt. Ollie ended up 22nd, with Tim finishing 25th in his second 50k in the last 11 days. This was a tough race - lots of DNFs from a lot of good skiers. Great job by all of these guys to hang in there - well done, men!
