 | Follow @UVMskiing
BURLINGTON, Vt. –
A total of 16 Catamounts earned All-East honors following the team's fifth straight EISA Championship last weekend. Will St. Germain of the alpine team and Alayna Sonnesyn of the Nordic team were named EISA Rookie of the Year in their respective disciplines to highlight the Vermont honors.

Sonnesyn finished fourth in the freestyle race at the EISA Championships and finished in the top-10 five times this year.
 
Kristina Riis-Johannessen, who won the giant slalom at the EISA Championships and was the runner-up in the slalom, earned a spot on the All-East First Team for the fourth straight season. She has five wins and seven podium appearances in 2015.
 
Elli Terwiel joined Riis-Johannessen on the All-East First Team. Terwiel won the slalom and was the runner-up in the giant slalom at the EISA Championships.
