Tarvisio, Italy - While the rest of the Alpine team was preparing for their next race at Colorado on January 31, sophomore Helena Woodrow and freshman Gladys Weidt were in Italy representing the U.S. in the 2003 World University Games. The two Lobos were a part of the six-member U.S. Alpine women's squad. Woodrow represented her country as well as the University of New Mexico in excellent fashion by finishing six overall in the downhill and first among the U.S. women.
The downhill and super-G events are much faster races than the slalom and giant slalom races the Lobos usually run in Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association and NCAA meets. However, Woodrow did have previous experience during her days as a top-rated junior skier in Frisco, Colo. Her time of 1:38.80 was just 2.10 seconds slower than the winning time set by Gabriela Martinova of the Czech Republic. Weidt finished in fourth place among U.S. skiers and 22nd overall with a time of 1:42.46.
Woodrow was surprised by the crowd that came to watch the 37 skiers compete from all over the world. She stated "It was just amazing flying over that last jump and seeing I don't know how many hundreds of people in the crowd. That was such a rush coming into the finish, that was like nothing I have ever felt before."
Joining Woodrow and Weidt in Italy was head coach George Brooks. Brooks has served as the head coach of the U.S. Ski Team at the World University Games on nine different occasions, however this year he served as the team manager. M3m%Yk7zc*h?+SZ4HF*y3 *
