Nordic Division Spelled Doom To Vt Ski Team
University of Vermont coach Robert Stewart laments combining alpine and nordic events as the team’s nordic weakness dragged the season. Vermont placed second in downhill at the Middlebury Carnival and third in alpine, but finished eighth overall due to nordic results. Stewart expects better next season with more returning athletes and a larger squad. Injuries sidelined three sophomores, including Ken Austin, Dave Umstead, and Bill Thurber, affecting nordic strength.
