Hey Everyone! Sorry for the delay but we are finally back to bring you our newest section dedicated to getting to know the freshman on the team. Jeff Stamp and I (Max Lund) will be conducting interviews with each freshman during our preseason to acquaint everyone with the future skiers of our team. So without further ado let me introduce all of you to Maddey McLachlan
A: Maddey McLachlan.
Q: Is that Mc-G-l-a-u-g-h-l-i-n?
A: NO! Mc-capital L-a-c-h-l-a-n.
Q: Okay, Okay! Age?
A: 18
Q: Where are you from and what club did you ski with?
A: Traverse City, Michigan and I skied for Win Alpine
Q: And why did you choose St. Olaf?
A: I chose St. Olaf because it was a good place to balance skiing and a school. And I really wanted to ski! When I came for a visit it was really cold but I loved the campus! And in High School the only thing I liked studying was biology and St. Olaf was a good school for that.
Q: What do you want to do when you graduate?
A: Get a job! I want to get a dog as soon as I can too because I miss my dogs. I also would like to go to grad school, probably for PA (Physicians Assistant).
Q: Okay, then where do you see yourself in 10 years?
A: I don’t even know what I’m doing tomorrow! But seriously, I don’t really like that question. I don’t know. I want to be happy! I also want to live in the mountains! But not next to a reservoir, like actually in the mountains.
Q: Where is your favorite place to ski and why?
A: Hintertux, Austria. It was so fun! It’s all locals, and everything is really steep. And powder. Bit it had a bunch of T-bars, which was hard. And I almost fell of the side of the earth because there were no signs!
Q: How is dryland so far?
A: They are as challenging as you make them. If you put the effort in and do it correctly, it will pay off.
Q: Can you give me an example of some stuff you do?
A: Well we play soccer a lot which is fun, but a lot of it is intense workouts like running hills after working. We also do group abs which is really funny because when we count to 60, Paal messes up everytime (the new Norwegian)!
Q: What would your ideal day look like?
A: Wake up, look outside and it snowed a ton! Then I would have strawberry waffles with whipped cream for breakfast. After, I would go skiing all day and not have my feet get cold! Then I would fly home, have dads food for dinner, and hang out with my friends after and go to bed.
Q: Interesting, I would probably train slalom all day! Okay last question, what is your most memorable ski race?
A: When I was a J3 (14, 15 yrs. old), I skied in a Downhill at keystone and I was scared out of my mind! But I had a really fast split time and I was going 72 Mph! I didn’t finish super well but I was only a J3 and I had a lot of fun!
Make sure you check in next week to see who we choose next for all of you to meet!
