Posted

Hosting the Clarkson University Invitational at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic Center in Lake Placid for the second straight year, the Clarkson University Nordic Ski team was able to come away with two wins.

For the second straight week, junior Ashley Forshey (Scotia, NY) was the top individual performer for Clarkson, coming in second place in the 10K Skiathlon with a time of 39:43. Senior Olivia Dawson (Scottsville, NY) and sophomore Katie Dunn (Penfield, NY) were not far behind her, with Dawson finishing in fifth (44:17) and Dunn in seventh (45:19). Senior Taryn Dausman (Syracuse, NY) and junior Chelsea Farinacci (Huntington, NY) came in tenth and eleventh respectively, helping Clarkson finish in first by two points.

On the men's side, junior Eric Mallery (Webster, NY) was the highest Clarkson finisher, with his time of 34:15 placing him in seventh place. His brother, freshman Peter Mallery (Webster, NY) came in tenth with a time of 36:07 and freshman Brian Chrzan (Clifton Park, NY) came in eleventh (36:29). Junior Ben King (Jericho, VT) was right behind them in twelfth, finishing the race in 36:43.

On Sunday, the teams had a Freestyle Sprint Relay rather than an individual event. The Clarkson Men's A Team came in first, finishing in 16:59.2 and the B Team came in third with a time of 17:50.6. The Clarkson Women's A Team came in second with a time of 21:17.3 with the B Team coming in fifth with a time of 24:36.1.

Clarkson will return to action on February 14th when they travel to the ECSC Divisionals in Woodford, VT.
