Several people raced at Pineland today in the Race For Those Not Heading To Nationals, a 10k skate. It snowed last night and all morning, so the conditions were soft and smooth. The competition was solid - most of the Bates and Colby skiers, as well as some good juniors and master skiers. I was helping out with the race, so I didn't get to see much of our skiers, but I liked what I saw and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. Courtney led the women with an 8th place finish and Spencer was 6th for men. We had several skiers up in the middle of the Bates and Colby crowd, skiing with people they haven't been close to in the past. Great way to end the pre-season.
Men's Results
Women's Results
Here are a few photos courtesy of Nick:
Courtney was skiing on a higher level today - she thrives on tough conditions. She looked strong and aggressive - probably the best I've ever seen her ski.
Erin sporting the groovy headwear.
Grace powering through - the course got a bit sloppy, but no one's complaining about new snow.
Cookie Monster with the face shield - somebody loves him.
A few other race notes: Scott burned up a local NY citizen race yesterday, the Byrncliff Governor's Cup - always nice to take the win. And here's a photo of Wilson and Maren with Andy Newell at a Wasatch Citizen Series race from last weekend:
