Great Glen Sprints - first on-snow race of the year yesterday! Most of the team headed up to Pinkham Notch for the Great Glen Sprints. There was some solid competition, with Bates, Burke, and Gould in attendance, among others. I wasn't able to be there, unfortunately, so I can't give a first-hand account, but by all reports our team showed well. Maren, Hannah, Jeff, and Niko all made it through to the semi-finals. Sounds like the snow was outstanding and the event went pretty smoothly - a good way to break the seal on the season.

Jeff. I'm told that he skied fast enough to get away with the Santa hat.

PS - In other news, former Bowdoin assistant Ollie Burruss beat a bunch of fast skiers to win the Craftsbury Opener yesterday - nice work, Ollie! I was already looking forward to the potential Ollie-Spencer showdown at Presque Isle next weekend - yesterday's result only heightens my anticipation.

And one Waltah Shepard is competing in the U.S. Biathlon World Team trials in beautiful Coleraine, MN...
Team looked good. I lobbied to get Niko into the final, but I was overruled. He missed by inches with a great effort at the line.
Video is posted, too:
