Woodhouse, an All-East First Team skier, is competing at NCAAs for the second time in her career. The junior co-captain earned the No. 5 East ranking. Her No. 8 GS ranking included a season-best second-place finish at St. Lawrence and fourth place at UNH. In all, Woodhouse registered six Top-5 finishes and placed in the Top 10 in 11 of the season's 12 races. In 2017, the then-freshman was UNH's top finisher in women's GS (21^st) at the NCAA Championships, which UNH hosted at Cannon Mountain.

Olsson, a freshman, was ranked 12^th in GS during the EISA carnival season with top finishes at UVM (sixth) and Dartmouth (sixth). Olsson was ranked 14^th in SL, with top results at UNH (eighth) and St. Lawrence (ninth). She capped the EISA season with six Top-10s.

Bruneau-Bouchard parlayed a No. 8 SL ranking and a No. 24 GS ranking into No. 12 overall in the East. Three of his four Top-10s came in SL, including a tie for fourth place at St. Lawrence and fifth at UNH. He recorded his top GS result (10^th) at the UNH Carnival.

Competing in NCAAs for the second straight season, Kenney (No. 19 East ranking) did his best work in GS, where he earned a No. 15 ranking by virtue of an eighth-place finish at UVM and a tie for sixth at Dartmouth for his two Top-10 placements of the season. He finished in 20^th place in SL and 23^rd in GS at last year's national championships, hosted by the University of Colorado at Steamboat Ski Resort.

The Wildcats have recorded 26 NCAA Top-10 finishes in ski coordinator Cory Schwartz's 37 years coaching at UNH.
