LAKE PLACID, NY - The Williams College ski team placed seventh
with 170 points after the first day of the St. Lawrence Carnival
held at Whiteface Mountain for the Alpine races while the Nordic
races were held at Mountain Van Hoevenberg.
Charles Christianson, senior captain for the Alpine squad, showed
the best performance for the Ephs, placing first in the men’s
giant slalom race with a first run time of 59.09 and a second run
of 1:02.56. Williams placed seventh in the men’s giant slalom
with a team score of 44 points. Sophomore Robert Dyroff placed 27th
in the race with a first run of 1:02.28 and a second run time of
1:03.98. Eirik Buraas, junior, finished 32nd with a run times of
1:04.87 and 1:05.64. Junior Eric Mann placed 38th with a first run
of 59.43 and a second run time of 1:18.09. University of Vermont

The women’s Alpine team placed seventh in the giant slalom
with a team score of 33 points. Top performers for the Ephs include
sophomores Kelsey Levine and Emily Porter. Levine placed 22nd in
the race with a first run of 1:03.68 and a second time of 1:07.27

took the giant slalom race as a team with a score of 82 points.
It was a day of perseverance for the Ephs. Christianson noted that
it was a good day for the team but, “The conditions were bad
and there were a lot of near misses.” Reacting to his first
place finish, Christianson noted that with the challenging
conditions he was able to “squeeze out” a win and that
it has been good to show such a strong performance after coming out
of knee surgery last year.
The Nordic team had their women’s 5K free technique and
men’s 10K free technique races today. The men placed sixth as
a team with 38 points while the women placed fourth with 55
points.
Top performers for the men were sophomores Alexander Taylor and
Mark Johnson. Taylor placed 23rd for the Ephs with a time of
25:58.7. Johnson placed 24th with a time of 26:01.3. Freshman Keith
Kantack finished 29th with a time of 26:12.2. Placing 32nd and 33rd
were junior Sam Kapala, with a time of 26:17.7, and senior Scott
McClelland who finished with a time of 26:18.8.
It was a solid day for the lady Ephs in the women’s 5K free
technique race, freshman Kirsten Johnson and sophomore Alice Nelson
placed ninth and tenth for the Ephs. Johnson finished the race in
14:31.0 while Nelson followed close behind with a time of 14:36.6.

placing 34th with a time of 15:29.4.
