Recent Races and Photos

Catching up on some non-carnival racing from the last couple weeks.  Last weekend, we had a small crew at the Eastern Cup Finals in Waterville - the last chance to score points for JN qualifying.  Our big highlights were Jackson crushing the 15k classic mass start and Shelby burning up the 5k skate after a strong classic race the day before.  Both of them have qualified for JNs in Fairbanks - a huge accomplishment in the toughest division in the country.  Congratulations Jackson and Shelby!  Tyler is still in the running as well - we'll know for sure after this weekend.

Eastern Cup Results

The week before, several skiers headed up to Rumford for the John Roderick Memorial Race, which took place just after the blizzard.  Mike stole the show by winning the 15k, and the rest of the crew also skied well despite having to plow through the soft, fresh snow.

Lastly, a pair of Bowdoin Nordic alums ran into each other at the Boulder Mountain Tour in Idaho a couple weeks ago - Spencer Eusden '12 and Angus Badger '89.  I'm happy to report that Angus won his wave - he's still got it!
