Vermont cross countrv skiers come through for title
Vermont saved its best until last,
scoring well in both the men’s and
women’s diagonal cross country
events on the final day of competi-
tion to win its third NCAA National
Collegiate Men’s and Women’s Ski-
ing Championships team title in
four years.
The Catamounts, trailing New
Mexico by 10 points going into the
last day, captured the individual
championship in the men’s diagonal
on Trend Nystad’s 57: 17.6 perform-
ance and scored well enough in the
women’s event to hold off the Lobos
for a 693.5 to 642.5 margin.
“It was an amazing champion-
ship.“Vermont coach Chip LaCasse
said. “No team from the West came
in dominating, which produced the
most balanced meet 1 have ever
seen.”
Only I5 points separated the top
four teams after three days of com-
petition. Colorado, the defending
champion, was only 41/z points be-
hind Vermont, and Wyoming trailed
Colorado by only half a point. Utah,
fifth after the third day, finished the
meet in third place, and Dartmouth
moved from sixth to fourth place on
the final day.
Other national champions for
Vermont were Sally Knight in the
women’s giant slalom and Einar
Bohmer in the men’s slalom. Utah’s
Kristen Vestgren won the women’s
diagonal cross country event and
the IJtes’ Katja Lesjak won the
women’s slalom. Annette Skjoldcn,
in the women’s freestyle event, was
Colorado’s lone national champion.
Wyoming’s Bernie LaFleur was a
surprise winner in the men’s freestyle
cross country event.
