The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is looking to build on the talents of its skiers. Head Coach Steve Teclaw’s focus for 2015 is on a “strong, sustainable season.”
Teclaw says he hopes that his women’s team will “stay healthy throughout the entire season and utilize the depth and strong senior leadership to improve our team score, and achieve a podium finish from our senior varsity squad.” The Green Bay women are led this winter by seniors Hanne Guthrie and Kailey Mucha, named to the 2014 CCSA 2nd Team, as well as sophomore Bree Mucha.
For the Pheonix men, Teclaw says he’s “looking to improve on the fundamentals this season.” They will be without 2014 graduate Eddie Gurney, but will be led by returning skiers Kyle Marshall who competed at Junior Nationals in 2014, and senior Chris Nichols.
Teclaw says that after a disconnected 2014 season that saw “strong finishes from a few, we need to build our base and look to contend in numbers.” To that end, Green Bay will call upon freshman skier Jake Ajax of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Teclaw says he will be “looking for solid racing from our junior members to show they can be the foundation for the team.”
