WILMINGTON, N.Y. – Justine Clément earned her first win of the season Thursday as the Catamounts alpine team competed at Whiteface Mountain in a giant slalom makeup race from the Saint Michael's Carnival. Mathias Tefre and Joachim Jagge Lindstol also earned podium places on a day that counted towards NCAA points but not EISA points. Unfortunately, due to heavy fog that settled into the region the men's race was also just one run.
