Saint Paul's Macalster College to Lose Cross Country Ski Team
Unfortunately, Macalaster College, a small and wealthy liberal and I
mean "liberal" arts college in Saint Paul is dropping their Cross Country Ski Team. This puts the MIAC Conference in a bind as they are now one team short of qualifying as a conference. The Athletic Director at Macalaster is Irv Cross. Yeah, the former CBS, NFL broadcaster back in the 70s along with Brent Musberger and Phylis George. Irv was a great football player but probably doesn't understand cross country skiing and the rich nordic skiing tradition of Minnesota. This comes at a time when the snow in the area is fantastic. Macalaster is one of the wealthiest small colleges in the country thanks to an endowment from the Reader's Digest Foundation. I guess they'll waste the money on something else. The program was only a five years old or so and was headed in the right direction. Jay Tegeder "On the podium if the right people don't show up!" JT |
