“I found out about it afterwards,” Tofte said of beating Gavrilyuk. “It’s exciting to know that.”

Meanwhile, Rolfes placed sixth. With her two top-10 finishes on Sunday as well as her strong effort in last weekend’s relay, Rolfes has recently started to hit her stride as a top skier.

“We were trading positions a lot,” Tofte said of racing with Rolfes. “We got to ski together some. I skied against her in high school, and I’ve known her for a while. Jen had a great day. She’s an awesome spring racer, and she had a wonderful weekend. I think she’s probably really excited about how she did today.”

“That was probably Jen’s best day of racing,” Harvard coach Chris City ‘94 added.

City also noted that Rolfes bettered her chances of qualifying for the Junior Olympics with her performance on Sunday. Stock and Tofte have likely qualified, though they would not compete if they qualified for the NCAA Championships.

“Alena Tofte and Jen Rolfes skied awesome races this afternoon,” Ryerson said. “I was proud of them.”

With a successful weekend behind it, Harvard now turns it sights back to the collegiate carnival circuit. The Crimson heads to Stowe, Vt., next weekend to compete at the University of Vermont Winter Carnival.
