Saturday's race was an 8.8K classical pursuit race. The air temperature ranged from 15 to 23 degrees farenheit and there were 6" - 10" of new snow on the ground.

Look closely and you will see that Sarah Walker (in the green and yellow UVM uniform), who was in the lead through the entire course, is still in front up until 250 meters before the finish line.
