State Meet in Minocqua, WI

The State meet was a learning experience for us today. It is the end of the season for the other teams and only our second race. We placed 16th out of 19 teams in the pursuit (classic and freestyle combined score) and classic, and 15th out of 19 teams in the freestyle.  Dustin did pretty well, taking 53rd out of 122 in the freestyle race and 74th out of 118 in the classic, 61st out of 122 in the pursuit ranking . Dakota did well in the classic race (97) and showed potential in the freestyle race (103)  and 100th overall.  Jenna finished 32nd out of 51 in the MS  freestyle girls race and 45th in the classic . Neil, well, he sucked today, finishing 104th overall and had one of the worst sporting events of his lifetime. Also, thanks to Matt for spending 6+ hours of time waxing the skis!  Next practice we will work on some intervals, technique, and maybe a TT. Congrats everyone. There's always next year to improve and meet your personal and team goals. -Neil

In the mean time we'll keep skiing. We will be volunteering at the North End Race tomorrow and skiing at Telemark on Monday after school, unless it's raining. -Mary

First race today! In the high school boy's 5k Supertour race, Dustin did well, and so did Neil.

They hope to improve their times next weekend at the WI Championships. 

We have practice tomorrow after school, and we'll be doing distance. Tuesday we're doing speed work. Hope to see you there!
