Jim Herbert ’11 finished in 3rd place, Garrett Phillips ’11 finished 5th, Speight Drummond ’11 finished in 7th, and Noah Drummond ’13 finished in 16th, producing the winning team score. Sam Durst ’11 recorded two solid runs and earned the 27th spot. Hayden Holland ’12 missed a gate in his first run but had a superb second run that placed him 12th for the run. Miles Hamilton ’10 raced to a 35th-place finish, and Charlie Parry ’10 completed only one of his two runs, missing a gate in the second run. On February 24, the team heads to Backwater at Proctor Academy for the Slalom Championships, where they hope to ice the overall championship.
