BURLINGTON, Vt. - University of Vermont head Nordic coach Patrick Weaver was named EISA Nordic Coach of the Year to headline a group of 15 Catamounts that earned All-East honors and a couple of Catamounts who were named Rookie of the Year.
 
Coach Weaver led the Catamounts in winning 18 of the 24 Nordic events this EISA campaign. It is the second time in his career that Coach Weaver has received the EISA Nordic Coach of the Year. Weaver received the recognition previously in 2011, his first season as head Nordic coach. Coincidentally 2011 was also the last time Vermont hosted the NCAA Ski Championships.
 
Lina Sutro, Ben Ogden, Bill Harmeyer and Karl Schulz were recognized as First Team All-East. Between the four skiers they earned 24 podium finishes this season. Sutro and Harmeyer each won five individual events this season. Margie Freed, Anna Bizyukova, Matias Øvrum, Finn O'Connell and Ian Moore were named Second Team All-East.
 
Bizyukova and Ogden were also honored as the EISA Rookies of the Year. Ogden won three individual events this season and earned a total of four podium finishes. Bizyukova won the 15k Classic at the UVM Carnival and finished third in the same event at the EISA Championships.
 
Laurence St. Germain and Patrick McConville were named First Team All-East on the alpine side. St. Germain won three EISA slalom titles this winter despite missing a large portion of carnival season skiing in FIS World Cup and World Championship races. McConvillle finished in second place twice in the slalom and earned eight top-10 finishes this season. Paula Moltzan, Francesca English, Mille Graesdal and Max Roeisland were named Second Team All-East.
