It’s the last race weekend of the season, and the Huskies were out in full force for the last races. In the women’s GS, senior Hana Saydek placed 2nd in her last regular season race, with junior Elyse Dinan close behind in 5th. Freshmen Liddy Rankin and Maggy Skaugen rounded out the top 10 for Northeastern with 8th and 9th place.
On the men’s side, sophomore Romain Astié took first, followed by middlers Damian Kozak in 4th and Peter Sugar in 6th. Freshman Carter Bourassa finished 8th, and sophomore Charlie Denhart came from 13th after run 1 to finish 9th overall.
In Sunday’s panel slalom, costumes were out and the frostbite knocking as some athletes got creative for the last race of the season. Notably, men’s president Damian Kozak was spotted with a purple tutu, with sophomore Brendon Stearns got his Maine vibes on with a fur vest. On the women’s side, junior Elyse Dinan was seen wearing an orange jailbird suit, while freshman Nell Solomon supplied much of the womens team with a fantastically eclectic selection of onesies including penguin and tiger themed outfits. Meanwhile, freshman Maggy Skaugen did it again (oops) with a toxically accurate Britney Spears costume.
The Huskies took first in both the womens’ team standings and men’s team standings for the season, with senior Hana Saydek finishing 2nd overall for the season, and freshman Liddy Rankin taking 3rd overall.
Romain Astié, Damian Kozak, Charlie Denhart, Peter Sugar, and Carter Bourassa sweept the top 5 season ranking on the men’s side.
We look forward to USCSA Eastern Regionals in West Mountain next weekend, as the Huskies attempt to qualify for Nationals in two weeks!
