Vermont also boasted the best men’s individual giant slalom performance. Dominique Garand led the men with a combined time of 1:58:88 in his two heats, .85 seconds faster than the next faster competitor, Robert Overing of Dartmouth. These two racers were the only ones to break the two-minute barrier on Friday on the men’s side.
The team is satisfied with its performance, given the adverse weather conditions.
“We were there just trying to make the best of it.” Strong said. “It was really exciting to race feeling a little underprepared, but then [to have] a really good performance.”
