teams. His teams have won
numerous state, conference, ECAC,
NCAA regional and two national
championships. During his tenure
at Middlebury he has coached 19
cross-country All-Americans.
After the 2001 season in which
the women won the NCAA Division

the Olympic biathlon training
squad and competed in the 1970
and 1971 World Championships.
Aldrich came to Middlebury from
the University of New Hampshire,

years, he turned the Wildcats
into top contenders.
