Feature Story
Course management keeps champion skier, biker on his chosen path
Nil Kingston ’21 can thread a mountain bike down a rock- and root-strewn trail with the best of them.
Earlier this month the University of Rochester mechanical engineering major finished in the top 10 in two very different events at a collegiate mountain bike national championship.
