Harvard Ski Team Vies in EISA Meet

Harvard's ski team, bidding for a berth in the NCAA championships, competes today in the Middlebury Carnival and EISA Championships.

Traditionally, the first five teams in total points at the EISA meet qualify for the NCAA meet in March. For the past four years, Harvard has squeezed into fifth place in the qualifying meet, but this year may be even tenser than ever.

In its first two meets Harvard has finished sixth and eighth, with a fine first day at the Dartmouth Carnival being cancelled out on the second day by a series of falls. The Crimson skiers have a habit of improving quickly as a season progresses, however.
