UO club ski teams breeze to encouraging starts ■ Both the club sports alpine ski teams turned in respectable performances By Alissa Scott for the Emerald This year the Oregon Club Sports Alpine ski team is better than ever and reaching for a spot at nationals. After their first competition last weekend at Brundage Mountain in Idaho, the Ducks are right on track, according to ski student co coordinator Mark Lorincz. Fourteen students — seven male and seven female — made up the team for last weekend’s competition in giant slalom. In giant slalom races, skiers travel at speeds ranging from 30 to 50 miles per hour, and precision and tactics are crucial to compet ing well. On Saturday, the weather con ditions were extremely poor with constant snow and thick fog. The visibility was minimal, restricting sight to only 40 yards, which made each run more dangerous. On Sunday, however, the weather was beautiful; it was a much clearer day and the condi tions were perfect for racing. The men’s team placed fifth on both days among the 20 teams in the Pacific Northwest division, even though it had to deal with var ious obstacles. Bad weather conditions canceled the men’s second run, basing their placement on their first-run results. Also, third-seed skier Josh Hilgart fell and couldn’t finish the race on Saturday. Whitman College finished first, Albertson College of Idaho came in second, Eastern Oregon ended up in third and Seattle took in fourth. On Sunday, Whitman College held on to first, British Columbia came in second, Albertson Col lege of Idaho dropped to third, and Seattle and Oregon remained fourth and fifth, respectively. The women’s team also did well at the competition, placing sixth. The ranking remained the same during both days of compe tition. Whitman College stayed in first, Albertson College of Idaho in second, Seattle in third, the Puget Sound in fourth and Pacific Lutheran in fifth. The women’s team is making improvements this year. Even though sophomore Alyson Her man is the only returning skier, this year there are enough women to make up a complete team — which didn’t happen last year. “Alyson is better than she was last year and is moving up,” Lor incz said. “The Pacific Northwest has the best females, so with her H We were top five last year, and this year we should be in the top three. Chuck Leavitt student co-coordinator n 18th-place finish [among 100 women] on Saturday, she is ski ing really well.” The men’s team also has the op portunity to do well this season, according to ski student co-coor dinator Chuck Leavitt. “We were top five last year, and this year we should be in the top three,” Leavitt said. “This is odd be cause we are not a varsity team, but we are competing against teams with students who receive scholar ships —and we are winning. ” Colby Gail finished 13th and Lorincz finished 15th among 130 men, pushing the men’s team closer to qualifying for regionals and nationals. “If we finish another race in the top five we will be qualified for nationals, which we have never done before,” Lorincz said. For the next four weeks, the ski team will continue attending qualifiers for regional champi onships. There are 20 teams in the Pacif ic Northwest division, and only seven go to regionals to compete for a spot in nationals.
