Women's team continues recent success with third place finish
By Ryan Yeung, Managing Sports Editor
There is a feeling of excitement that is being emitted from the women's ski team that has not been seen in a long time. After a great weekend at Dartmouth Skiway, the women have set themselves in position for a possible playoff berth, tying for fifth place in the Thompson Division. The top four teams go to the playoffs and the women are right in the thick of the action.

In the slalom, the women were paced by Sara Sklar-Heyn '05, who was followed by Kelly Smith '04 and Megan Kahn '04. Sklar-Heyn is currently ninth overall in the division. In the giant slalom, the Jeff attack was once again led by Sklar-Heyn and Smith who led the women to an overall third place team finish. Amy Randall '04 was the third Jeff finisher.

The men had a rough weekend, but are showing signs of improvement. In the slalom, the men's team finished eighth. Men's captain Seth Fitzsimmons '02 led the Jeffs and was followed by Ezra Gordon '04.

James Harris '02 was the top Jeff finisher in the giant slalom, followed by Andrew Foster '02 and Gordon in third.

The Jeffs will travel to Berkshire East this weekend.
