BAILEY WINS UNITED STATES' FIRST-EVER BIATHLON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
University of Vermont skiing alum Lowell Bailey '05 made history by becoming the first American to ever win a biathlon world championship in a thrilling finish last week. Bailey completed the 20K race in 48:07.4 and was a perfect 20-for-20 in shooting. Team USA had previously earned two silver medals and a bronze medal in past championships, which date back to 1958. Bailey has competed in three Olympic Winter Games as a member of the U.S. Biathlon Team and made American history in 2014 by finishing eighth in the 20K individual pursuit in Sochi, Russia. He has also competed in three Junior World Championships and seven World Championships for the U.S. During his time in Burlington, Bailey was a three-time NCAA Academic All-American, becoming just the second UVM skier to earn the honor.
 
WHAT'S NEXT
Vermont will compete in the NCAA Championships from March 8-11 in Franconia, New Hampshire. The Alpine National Championships will take place at Cannon Mountain and the Nordic National Championships will be held at Jackson Touring Center.
