Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as the DartmouthSports.com Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.
Eric Packer (Anchorage, Alaska), Sr., Men's Nordic Skier
Sophie Caldwell (Peru, Vt.), Sr, Women's Nordic Skier
Sophie Caldwell (Peru, Vt.) picked up her fourth and fifth career All-America honors at the NCAA Skiing Championships, finishing third in the 5K freestyle and second in the 15K classical to make the first team in both events. The latter race came down to a thrilling finish as Caldwell went ski-to-ski with a Vermont skier. The photo finish required more than 10 minutes to decide which racer crossed the line first, with Caldwell just missing out on an individual title by less than two inches.
