EISA’s Class of 2024 Reflects on a Unique Journey

Last weekend at the Middlebury Regional Championships and this week at the NCAA National Championships in Steamboat, the EISA’s Class of 2024 wraps up the final college racing turns of their undergraduate careers. Thanks to the 2020 COVID pandemic, most of them had no college racing as First Years, when Ivy League and NESCAC schools canceled their 202/21 competition seasons. Instead, they scrambled to train and race through pandemic restrictions and strict quarantine requirements that forced athletes to pick a state and stay there.
