Incline college skiers score at nationals
Sierra Nevada College skiers brought home a cache of gold and silver from the 37th annual USCSA National Championships at Mount Bachelor in Oregon.
The Incline Village institution has claimed 19 national championships in the last 24years.
More than 178 colleges and 4,700 individual athletes compete in the USCSA’s 200 race events each season. The national event is the showcase event for college ski and snowboard competition in the United States.
In alpine skiing, both the SNC Tahoe women’s and men’s teams won gold overall; the women’s and men’s freeskiing teams each also brought home the overall gold medals. In snowboarding, a newer sport for SNC, the women’s and men’s teams won overall silver medal.
In addition to the overall medals, SNC Tahoe’s 44 snowsport athletes brought home 12 individual bronzes, 13 individual silvers, and 12 individual gold medals from Mt. Bachelor.
Nice job SNC. You guys made Tahoe proud.
