9. NADLER SKIS TO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
In March, Harvard sophomore Rebecca Nadler did what no Crimson skier had done before—win a national title. Nadler achieved the feat in the giant slalom at the NCAA Championships, edging out Vermont’s Kate Ryley by 0.38 seconds for first place. The win capped a sophomore season in which Nadler also gave Harvard its first EISA Carnival win in an alpine event (the giant slalom) and secured her spot as the greatest skier in Crimson history.
