New Mexico Lobo Ski Team Awards Banquet 2010

Congrats to the UNM Lobo Ski Team for their 2-009-2010 performance, both on the snow and in the classroom.  Under coach Fredrik Landstedt's capable leaadership, this years team has achieved perhaps the most overall successes of any UNM Ski Team.  From the team winning the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association Title to the individual ski performances of each member, from placing 3rd in the NCAA National Championships, this team is quite accomplished.  It's pretty close to the mens baketball team reaching the final four.

One example is the impressive results of UNM skiers is the US Alpine Skiing National Championships at Lake Placid, NY during this years spring break.  Main Hemmingsson finished 3rd in the giant slalom on Tuesday March 23, 2010.  Olympic silver medalist Julia Mancusco won the giant slalom ahead of Hemmingsson by 0.33 seconds.  From the stories told at this years banquet, sounds to me like we may well be watching more than one future World Cup and / or Olympian medal winner.

The ski team is also known for it's high level of academic performance.  Their average GPA is around 3.7.  Some of this years graduates are over 4.0.  UNM hosts a dinner for athletes with GPAs above 3.2 (as I recall).  Virtually all the UNM Lobo Ski Team is invited to that academic achievement recognition dinner.  The ski team includes electrical and mechancial engineering students, several disciplines at the Andeson School of Management, and several other degree fields.
