Middlebury College placed second overall in this weekend's winter carnival, capping a consistently strong season. Congratulations to coach Andrew Gardner and his merry band of nordies, and to John, Tim, Jim, Peggy and everyone else at Rikert who made Friday and Saturday so successful. Some of the great highlights of Carnival: Patrick Johnson breaking 3 (!) poles and still cracking the top 20; Yeoman efforts from Anders Meyer, Dane Johnson, and Graham Eagan; best race this year from Matt Johnson (big brother of Patrick); power skating from Tim Reynolds; amazing skate race for Robin Anderson (#3); top ten in the classic for Cassidy Edwards; Kate Barton and Claire Luby's speedy feet; Joy Erdman's outstanding drive; and Sophie McClelland's raw strength and beautiful technique. (She also wins the prize for the greatest number of relatives in a single race.)
Kudos, too, to local skiers Mary Stewart, racing for UVM and Sophie Allen, in her first year at SLU. The hometown crowd went crazy when these two zipped by.
