The lives of the UNM ski team athletes have been pretty intense lately. We came home from NCAA’s with a trophy, even though it was not the golden kind of trophy we were hoping for. We all did our best though and even though I will not be around next year I’m hoping that the Lobos will bring it home then instead. We finished third as a team. I got my third NCAA slalom title and ended my college career in the best possible way. I can now title myself a “retired lobo skier” and I will always do it with pride and I’ll look back on my four years with lots of sunshine and fun.
Some of us spent our spring break skiing, I went to US nationals where I finished 5th in the slalom and 3rd in the GS, we have also represented the Lobo ski team at canadian nationals and Nor-Am finals. AC took home the Nor-Am GS title and Petter got third in the overall slalom cup. This weekend we are headed up to Colorado for the last international races of the season. After that the team will have a couple of weeks to rest. Except for me, I will go to sweden and do swedish nationals. A last effort to be able to keep skiing next year.
