INDIANAPOLIS – The UNH ski team will send 11 student-athletes to the 2022 NCAA Ski Championships, hosted by the University of Utah, at Park City Mountain Resort and Soldier Hollow on March 9-12.

On the women's Nordic side, sophomore Jasmine Lyons (Ottawa, Ontario), freshman Lisa Nystedt (Stockholm, Sweden) and junior Luci Anderson (Golden Valley, Minn.) will represent the Wildcats for head coach Cory Schwartz.

The men's Nordic contingent includes junior Scott Schulz (Lake Placid, N.Y.), freshman Roger Anderson (Golden Valley, Minn.) and sophomore Seth Wyatt (Bozeman, Mont.).

Alpine head coach Brian Blank will send graduate students Bastian Meisen (Munich, Germany) and Will Bruneau-Bouchard (Quebec City, Quebec) along with junior Marius Solbakken (Bekkestua, Norway) for men's competition. Freshman Zoe Michael (Sydney, Australia) and senior Fanny Sanderberg (Oslo, Norway) qualified for the women's alpine team.

"We are excited to represent the University at the NCAA Ski Championships in Utah," Schwartz said. "We are bringing our biggest group of qualifiers in several years. Many should be racing toward a Top-10 finish in their individual races."
