Forshey was the women’s leading racer as Clarkson won both the classic and skate events. Forshey posted the best time in the classic at 43:33 and skate at 41:10.

Freshman Eric Mallery (Webster, NY) placed fourth in both the men’s classic (35:05) and skate (37:23). Senior Zach Russo (Fayston, VT) was fifth in the classic (35:26) and third in the skate (37:14).

Sophomore Olivia Dawson (Scottsville, NY) was fifth for the women in the classic (48:17) and fourth in the skate (42:42). Junior Eleanor Vane (Fairport, NY) finished seventh in the classic (49:45), while classmate Erin Corrigan (Remsen, NY) was sixth in the skate (45:01).
