At the NEPSAC Class B Championships, LC faced off against fourteen other schools at
Mount Snow in the only gender-split race of the season. Competing in both slalom and giant
slalom, the team faced a full day of racing and a loaded field of competitors. On the boys’
side, Ben Beaudoin once again led the way, finishing a very impressive fifth in the Giant
Slalom and eighth in the Slalom. Thomas Budd backed up a strong rookie season by placing
14 th in the GS and 13 th in the Slalom. Kyle Brinkerhoff was the third finisher in the GS in 20 th
place, and Eli Kaplan contributed valuable points by finishing 25 th in the Slalom. Together,
these times added up to a podium spot for the boys’ team: third place overall!
The Girls’ team had an even greater challenge in front of it. With only three racers on the
squad for New Englands, every run would count, and none of the girls could afford to crash.
Even with that added pressure, the girls put down and amazing day-long performance.
Katrina Queirolo led the way, placing fifth in the Slalom and fourth in the GS. Right behind
her in the GS was Jordan Dickstein in fifth place to go with her eight place in the Slalom.
Adding crucial place points was Eliza Hanson, who finished in 18 th place in the Slalom and
then had the run of her life to finish in eighth in the GS. Combined, these finishing places
were enough to hold off Milton by just a single point, giving the girls their second New
England Championship in four years!
