Wildcat Notes

•Nawrocki registered her second Top-20 finish in as many races to start out her EISA career; she placed 19th in Friday's giant slalom.
•Only 0.06 seconds separated Cookson from Bruneau-Bouchard; each earned points in Friday's GS as well.
•Tõnis Luik (Tallinn, Estonia), who finished 0.04 seconds behind Steinke, just missed out on points in finishing 23rd overall.
Looking ahead
•For the first time all season, both the Wildcat alpine and Nordic teams will compete in the same carnival the same weekend as the 'Cats compete at the Vermont Carnival on Feb. 2-3.
