As we were wrapping up NCAAs, Grace M and Emma were headed out to Fairbanks, AK, for Junior Nationals. Not surprisingly, it was super cold, but the temps cooperated just enough for the organizers to pull off the races after some schedule adjustments. Sounds like it was a fine week of racing - good snow, great course, and stellar competition. The U20 category was very competitive this year - several good college skiers in attendance along with the usual assortment of fast juniors. Grace was steady throughout the week - 16th in the 7.5k classic, 24th in the skate sprint, and 21st in the 15k skate. Emma rebounded from a tough classic to finish 10th in the sprint and 5th in the 15k, earning All-American honors in both events. Good showing from both of them, and a nice way to wrap up the season. Congratulations Grace and Emma!
