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

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.
