I wanted to write a quick update about our graduates that are now skiing in college. After a few minutes of searching the web, I realized there are a lot of athletes that came through the club that are now in the collegiate ranks. This list is a testament to the growing popularity of our sport in this area, and the depth of talent. If I missed someone (very likely), please let me know. Recent graduates are at the top of the list:
Sienna Searles (CVU ’12) has been training with the team at St Lawrence Univ. She joins Eric Lustgarten (BHS ’09) and Lauren Olson (Colchester ’11) on what appears to be a strong young team. St Lawrence Nordic blog.
Liam John (Essex ’12) is in the Midwest at St. Olaf College. Link to St Olaf Nordic blog.
Jack Hegman (MMU/Burke Mtn ’12) joins his older brother Pete Hegman at UVM this fall. UVM are reigning NCAA National Champions and look strong again this year.
Danny Ebenstein (MMU ’12) is just across the NY state border at Skidmore. He played goalie on the varsity soccer team this fall. Skidmore Soccer.
Brendan Copley (Colchester ’12) finished one heckuva freshman year of running at Quinnipiac Univ. Brendan was one of the top-20 freshman in the entire region (D1) and he ran a 32:51 10km at his final race of the season. Quinnipiac Running.
John Dixon and Jared Supple (CVU and MMU) are seniors at Colby College.
Emily Stitt (MMU/GMVS) and Ben Lustgarten (BHS ’09) are skiing for Middlebury College.
