HEAD COACH MARGOT COSENTINO:

"I'm very proud of the season we've had and how far we made it this year. Attending regionals was a huge accomplishment for our first-year varsity team. It was a great experience to see what type of competition is out there. There were a lot of nerves at the start of the GS the first day but they faced it head on and gave it their all. The SL event today was exciting and Annie (Cerminaro) posted a solid finish, placing 14th. Jill (Luby) also skied a strong first run. I am excited to take what we learned this weekend as we set our goals for next year!"
