QUEENSBURY, NY - The Women's Alpine Ski Team rounded out their weekend, taking the slopes at West Mountain on Saturday and Sunday for a two-day competition. The team placed 10th on Saturday and 11th on Sunday.

"Saturday's GS race was tough with a lot of new fallen snow to slip out of the course, but Sunday was fun and exciting in the sun and some athletes' best skiing so far," Head Coach Bob Cilino '13 said. "It was a long travel weekend but the vibes are still high as we approach the end of our season. More work to be done the next couple weeks in training as we try to push them further and further before Regionals."

On Saturday, in the Giant Slalom course, Valérie Borg du Prie (Brussles, Belgium/European School Ixelles) earned 21st place with a combined time of 2:34.37. Gail Miller (Dayton, OH/Stivers School for the Arts) followed close behind with a combined time of 2:52:51 after two solid runs.

On Sunday, in the Slalom course, Borg du Prie broke a personal record with two solid runs, recording a combined time of 1:21:12. This time earned her 19th place in the competition. Following up for the Saxons was Miller with a combined time of 1:55:66.

The team will hit the slopes again on Valentine's Day to compete in a two-day competition at Labrador Mountain.
