Great Lakes Conference Summary

Great Lakes Conference Championship

It was a true Midwest fall weekend in Van Wert, OH as the University of Cincinnati hosted this year’s Great Lakes Conference Championships at Pleasant Shores. Saturday was off to a slow start with thick fog looming over the lake until 8:30am. Purdue and Ohio State battled it out in men’s slalom, each with three skiers in the top six. Despite the wind and rain, Derek McLachlan earned a personal best, tied for sixth place with 2 at 32 off, without ever running 28 off before in practice. Purdue’s Michael “Unicorn” Bullock took first place with three buoys at 38 off. Ohio State’s dominant men’s team finished 1-2-3 in overall standings, with Ben Van Treese, Kyle Dammeyer, and Derek McLachlan. It was another solid weekend for Jenna Gilbert of Purdue finishing with 4.5 at 32 off, while Katelyn Redes of Grand Valley State and Emily Van Treese of Miami tied for second with 2 at 28 off. With two personal bests, Jamie Zeal of Ohio State took first place overall in women’s. Sunday was much more pleasant, fairly dry and sunny. Women’s jump was impressively consistent. Though the scorebooks show zeros for many first round scratches, it seemed like the women were landing more solid jumps than usual. With their “go hard or go home” attitude, the men put on a show of out the front crashes. At the end of the weekend, the University of Cincinnati’s team effort helped them pull out in front by a mere 180 points to be crowned Conference Champions. The top seven teams travel to Decatur, IL this weekend to take on the Great Plains for the Regional title.
