The race would turn out to be the tightest of the day, as there was a spread of just over five seconds in between the 20th and 35th place finishers.

Barnes and freshman Emily Rogers would finish off the race for Harvard with finishes of 41st and 44th, clocking in with times of 3:31.2 and 3:33.4, respectively,

In the alpine portion of the carnival, the women would be the only competitors that Harvard would send to New Hampshire.

Freshman Kelly Stevens would lead the team with a 33rd place finish in the slalom and a 31st place finish in the giant slalom, with junior Samantha Udolf placing 44th in the slalom.

The team returns to action next weekend as they travel to compete at the Middlebury Carnival.
