Margaret Fellows, Allison Hall and Hollis Keith also raced fairing well in a nearly 200 racer field. Well not sure how Hollis did since he is missing from results, have to find out more about that.
Williams was a bit up and down. Zach turned in a fantastic classic race finishing 5th to strengthen his chances for NCAA championship berth he still needs probably a top 7 freestyle finish to qualify which he is more than capable of but some other notables on the circuit turned in season best performances. Eric and Ben had another decent weekend with Ben improving his NCAA point total and Eric racing unlucky but well in the classic race where he ran over one of the early starters who was lapping though and lost about 45sec out of the start. Out for a little vengeance on day two he was leading at the halfway point but could not hold the pace for two laps, sometimes though you just have to go for the win. It will most certainly come down to the final day with about 6 guys in the hunt for the last 2 or 3 qualification spots including Zach. If we can qualify 3 (a full mens team) that would be the first time since 1994 I think.
The women certainly are showing signs of improvement as the season comes to a close. Caroline had 2 solid top 30 (27/22) finishes Johannah fell in the classic but came in 24th in the freestyle and Leah finished 34/29th. Kelsey can't seem to shake some cold that has been dragging on now for most of the season but toughed it out and I think will be someone of note in upcoming years.
