SBA Alum Meng Qualifies for NCAA Championships

Austin Meng ('11)

Congratulations go out via The Fighting Marmot today to SBA alum Austin Meng ('11), who has qualified for NCAA National Championships after a stellar sophomore Nordic race season at St. Lawrence University. 

Middlebury College is hosting Nordic National Championships next week. Meng will race both a 10K classic and a 20K skate against the best racers in the country. 

Meng posted an impressive four top-30 finishes his freshman year. This year, he has finished as high as tenth in a 10K classic race and now has five top-20 finishes under his belt.  

On behalf of the entire SBA community, The Fighting Marmot sends Austin our very best wishes for strong skiing at next week's National Championships. 

Alumni Spotlight: Emperor Meng?

News of SBA Nordic alums Austin Meng and Cassidy Cichowicz has surfaced recently from St. Lawrence University Ski Team's Facebook and blog posts. The SLU Ski Team maintains a strong social media presence, with its own Facebook page, Tweets, and a Blogger page much like our own. 

SLU's Facebook page reports that Meng had a top-ten finish at today's University of Vermont 10K Classic. The SLU Ski Team's blog site reports that Meng "has been the story of calm, consistent skiing" throughout the season.  

The Fighting Marmot congratulates Austin on his fine skiing this season at SLU and wishes both Meng and Cichowicz the best in the season's remaining races.
