Dartmouth’s most eventful moment came with the sweep of the Women’s podium in the 10k Skate race. Freshman Sophie Caldwell won, followed by Rosie Brennan and got the trifecta from Ida Sargent.

For the women Courtney Hammond again reigned supreme, confidently slicing through the slalom course. University of Vermont’s Megan Ryley was able to garner second but not the sought after win. Another Catamount completed the top three standings as Jilyne McDonald laid down a strong run to take third.
