Hughes '08 skies for US
Megan Hughes, a Middlebury College first-year, represented the United States in the World University Games in Innsbruck, Austria this past week. After her dominating run on Thursday, Hughes sat in fourth position and looked poised to snag a medal. Skiers from Poland, Serbia and Montenegro, and Lucie Hrstkova of the Czech Republic, who also won the Super G, held on to the top three spots. In the end, Hughes was the top United States finisher and was to compete in the slalom as well. The native Vermonter from Killington and other skiers commented on the tough mid-section of the race. The bumpy and iced-over run definitely took its toll on the competition and left many a skier looking up at the elite. There was no doubt that the course was challenging and also doubtless is the fact that Hughes was up to the challenge.
