The Volvo / NENSA Eastern Cup Cross-Country Ski Championships drew a large field to the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center, in Carrabassett Valley, Maine. The two-day season finale began Saturday with a 10km freestyle race. Starting in waves of seven racers every minute, the athletes were able to race one-on-one around the hilly course.

In the mens' race Dave Stewart of Vermont won with a time of 27:32.2,just 3/10ths of a second ahead of Pat Cote from Gould Academy. Brayton Osgood, racing for Dartmouth College, was third in 28:13.

The women's race was won easily by Amy Caldwell, coach at Stratton Mountain School, in 32:09. Tracy Theyerl, coach at Colby College, and Leslie Krichko of Ridgefield, CT and skiing for Putney Ski Club, dueled to the finish, with Theyerl second in 33:22 and Krichko in 33:26.

The afternoon's event was a 4x2.5km freestyle relay. The Vermont teams faired the best. Vermont #1 of Zach Caldwell, Chris Osgood, Brayton Osgood and Dave Stewart won by a second (21:22.2) over the Team Swix/Maine sandwich, of James Upham, Patrick Cote, Seth Beal and Stein Guldbrandsen. Third place went to the Green Mountain team, Eben Sargent, Josh Dalley, Mike Johnson, and Chris Mallory (22:35). The first women's team, the Vermont Ladies - Leslie Krichko, Trina Hosmer, Mary Heller-Osgood and Amy Caldwell - finished in 25:44 with time to spare over Beastie Babes, Hannah Taylor, Emily Jacobs and Heather Beal, a Maine/Middlebury group with a time of 26:58. Third place went to the WOW Maine team of Tracy Theyerl, Annette Brickley, Sue Foster and Dorcas Wonsavage.
