Take the University of New Hampshire for instance, whom the Crimson topped in the classic event. The Wildcats, lurking just behind the power struggle between the University of Vermont and league’s pacesetter Dartmouth, took third in the overall carnival scores and finished ninth at the NCAA Championships a year...
...early races and the Williams Carnival races, while Tofte led the charge in the University of Vermont and Dartmouth Carnivals, with Kennedy right behind her. Junior Cara Sprague is not far behind these three and finished second on the team in the 15k free event in the St. Lawrence Carnival.

But at this year's event, emotions seem to be at an all-time high. Every day, capacity crowds of 5,600 are filling the Vancouver Olympic Centre, mostly to cheer on Canada, home to 729,000 of the 1.1 million curlers around the globe. The atmosphere is even more electric than the scenes in arenas for other sports...
