First-year Helena Jankovic (Pittsfield, Mass.) also turned in a strong performance, taking 33rd place with her two-run combined time of 1:41.95, enough for 12 carnival points. Junior Lindsey Aten (Park City, Utah) rounded out the scoring 37th place with a mark of 1:42.22, earning Bates 10 carnival points. 

On the men's side, senior captain Nic Hotermans (Weston, Mass.) led the way for the Bobcats, taking 35th place out of 85 skiers with his two-run combined time of 1:37.51, earning 15 carnival points.

Bates alpine skiing returns to action on Friday, Jan. 31 and Saturday, Feb. 1 when the Bobcats compete at the Saint Michael's Carnival, held at Smugglers' Notch.
