WARREN, Vt. – The Castleton University men's alpine ski team competed in two FIS Giant Slalom races at Sugarbush on Tuesday, with rookie Lorenzo Mencaccini notching a second-place finish in race No. 2 on the day.

Mencaccini narrowly missed out on the top 10 in the first race, placing 12th, but followed that up with a second-place result in the afternoon session. Christopher Kerven finished 18th in the morning, but was one of three Spartans to DNF in the afternoon session.

Mencaccini's morning time checked in at 2:01.59 after runs of 1:00.23 and 1:01.36, sitting him less than one second outside the top-10. Kerven finished 18th with a time of 2:03, posting run times of 1:00.53 and 1:02.74 to log the top-20 finish. Jackson Frazier was the Spartans' third and final finisher in the morning with a time of 2:13.65.

In the afternoon session, Mencaccini was Castleton's lone finisher, riding run times of 1:02.99 and 1:03.96 to a second-place time of 2:06.95.

Castleton returns to the slopes at Burke Mountain on Saturday for two FIS GS races.
