Those are the places I was this week, in heaven. Read on, and sing along...
...prime example of the youth emergence is freshman Jessica Alvarez. She was the alpine women’s team top finisher on Saturday, accomplishing a 37th-place showing in Giant Slalom. For the nordic squad, fellow freshman Katherine Maynard made her first ever start at the Carnival, placing 55th. Harvard’s effort is all the more impressive considering the conditions they faced on Friday and Saturday. Torrential rains muddied the skiing conditions on both days, making ski preparation and waxing integral to the Crimson’s success. “Especially on Friday, the conditions were very...
