A small but fearless crew represented Bowdoin Nordic at the
Craftsbury Spring Tour last weekend. Both Millers raced - there was also a tall lanky guy who looked just like Mac but was wearing an unfamiliar race suit, so who knows. This was a 3-race event that included a classic prologue on Friday, a classic sprint on Saturday, and a 10/15k skate pursuit on Sunday. The field was small but absolutely stacked, including a number of highly-ranked seniors, several top college skiers and juniors, and one Olympic biathlete - basically a mini-SuperTour. Our crew posted fine results in the two classic races: Kaitlynn 4th and 13th (7th qualifier), Hannah 8th and 9th (8th qualifier), and Mac 34th both days. The cool thing about these races is that they were waxing their own skis - Saturday in particular turned out to be a very tricky day, so this was a job well done and a good learning experience. Everyone skied well and gained some spots in Sunday's pursuit - no overall results that I could find, but for skate splits Kaitlynn was 4th, Hannah 8th, and Mac 35th. Great skiing by everyone - really nice to see some of our skiers mixing it up with such a high-level field.
As we've come to expect, Deb Miller kindly provided some photos of the event:
