NCAA Championships start this week at Black Mountain (nordic) and Sunday River (alpine). The GS was supposed to happen today, but it's been postponed until tomorrow due to weather. So - classic and GS tomorrow, slalom on Friday, and skate on Saturday. Check out these video previews by EISA media intern Lincoln Benedict.
My bold predictions are usually wrong, so I won't make any, at least not publicly. I'll be rooting for the Eastern skiers, though, like all good Bowdoin Nordic fans should - the East's results this weekend will partially determine how many spots we get for next year's Championships. Plus, we just want to see our fellow EISA programs do well - that's good for all of us. The Western women's field looks pretty fearsome, but our women are much stronger at the top this year - not sure what to expect from the Central. I'm confident that our men can take back a spot or two - this is a much deeper group than last year, and a shorter classic race (generally the East's weakness) should work in our favor. We'll find out soon enough...
