Craftsbury EC Day 2

Perfect conditions for today's skate races - a frozen, fast, hard track that softened slightly as the day went on but never got slow. This, combined with the mass start format, made for some really fun racing, both for the athletes and the spectators. Great effort by all of our skiers - Alec destroyed his previous best points for a NENSA race, and Riley had another great race that left him just short of qualifying for JNs. It's always tough to miss by such a small margin, but it was pretty exciting to see him take his racing to a new level this weekend. Lots of reasons for us all to be excited for Regionals next weekend. Many thanks to Tyler, who once again performed brilliantly as a wax tech - his efforts were a big reason that we were able to get good skis today. Thanks also to the many parents who helped make this a great weekend!
