Senior Elliot Perretta (Annecy, France) and sophomores James Rosenbloom (Stowe, Vt.) and Connor Roy (Wellesley, Mass.) all received All-MacConnell Division laurels for the second year ina row, while Leunig and fellow first-years Asher Baron (South Londonderry, Vt.), Ben Hostetter (Osterville, Mass.) and Nick Heinrich (East Burke, Vt.) were each named to the all-league team for the first time in their respective careers. The all-league team honors skiers that place among the top-15 at the end of the regular season. 

Leunig put together one of the most dominant seasons in MacConnell Division history winning his final seven races and landing atop the podium eight times in 10 starts. He came in first in all five giant slalom races and won three times to go along with a third-place showing in the slalom to claim the Beavers' first skier of the year award since 2019 and the program's first rookie of the year honor.

Baron finished sixth in the league standings after recording a pair of runner-up showings and seven top-10 results. Roy, who came in ninth overall, also posted seven top-10s and had one runner-up finish, while Hostetter placed worse than ninth just once in eight completed races to finish 10th on the year.
