Wilmington, NY – Senior Ariana Welter and freshman Gavin Ebert both finished in the top 15 of their respective races to help lead the Clarkson University Alpine Ski team on day two of the Clarkson Carnival at Whiteface Mountain.

The Golden Knights' men finished second among eight MacConnell Division teams, while Clarkson's women also placed second among the conference squads.

Gavin Ebert was the top skier for the Golden Knights' men for the fifth straight race, finishing 14th overall out of 106 skiers with a time of 2:07.95 in the giant slalom on Sunday. Separated by just .13 seconds a little further down the leaderboard were sophomore Edouard Brochu and freshman Aleksa Lalic, finishing back-to-back in 30th and 31st in 2:12.35 and 2:12.48, respectively. That trio closed out Clarkson's team time, combining for 6:32.78.

Only four other Clarkson skiers were able to finish both of their runs on Sunday. Reed Martin took 35th (2:14.62), Pedro Gonzalez was 39th (2:15.63), Jackson Knobloch took 41st (2:16.07), and Colin Cotter came in 42nd (2:17.08). James Tucker had the fourth fastest first run among Clarkson skiers, but was unable to complete the second trip down the hill, as did Noah Marino and Adin Freeman. Cole Rodman, Evan Phelps, and Braden Kruk also skied out in their first runs of the giant slalom.

The best finish of the day for the Knights was accomplished by Ariana Welter, who came in 11th place out of 79 skiers in the women's race. Welter was 13th after the first run, but she posted the sixth-best time in the second run, ending up with a total time of 2:16.40. Hannah Goetz finished eight spots further down in 19th in 2:20.78, and Parker Seitzer closed out Clarkson's team time by finishing 34th in 2:31.42, rounding out the team time in 7:08.60.
