FRIDAY'S
RESULTS | SATURDAY'S RESULTS
NORTH CONWAY, N.H. -- The Babson College ski teams competed in a
pair of slalom races at the UConn Carnival at Mount Cranmore on
Friday and Saturday. The men's team finished fifth overall in both
events, while the women placed ninth in each race.
With only two healthy skiers racing, the women's team recorded
back-to-back ninth-place finishes despite solid performances on
both days. On Friday, junior captain Alyssa
Sullivan placed 22nd overall, while fellow junior captain
Alexis Burton followed closely in 25th. Then on
Saturday, Burton placed 32nd overall, with Sullivan coming in 52nd.
For the Babson men, junior Keith Vella, senior
captain Connor Lemenze, and first-year
Ricky Beneduci posted scoring performances on
Friday. Vella came in 22nd, Lemenze placed 24th, and Beneduci
placed 36th. They were followed by first-year Scott
Kern in 42nd place, junior Enrico
Palmerino in 44th, junior Max Winthrop in
52nd, senior captain Chris Jacobs in 60th, and
first-year Ryan Drake in 63rd.
Saturday saw the men's team post two top-20 finishes,
highlighted by a career-best 10th place performance from Winthrop.
The junior's top collegiate effort came exactly one week after an
11th-place showing in the GS at Sunapee last Saturday. Joining
Winthrop in the top 20 at Cranmore was Vella, who moved up to 17th
overall. Lemenze again cracked the Beavers' top three with a finish
of 29th, with first-year Zach Breakstone and
Beneduci following in 34th and 35th, respectively. Rounding out the
Beavers' lineup were Kern in 46th, Jacobs in 50th, Palmerino in
63rd, and Drake in 66th.
