Middle School Invite Results

We hosted our first Middle School race and also had shorted courses for the PK-Grade 1 and Grades 2-8 club skiers. Many thanks to Waterville Parks and Rec for creating a pretty good race course in very thin snow!  And thanks to the parents, coaches, and racers for joining us today.

Results:  Girls 3K | Boys 3K | 1K Race | 0.5K Race (note: skiers are 1. Mia Digirolamo, 2. Allison Anich, and 3. Cara Digirolamo in the 0.5K race — we are working to get those names to properly show up!)

A great day to be an xc skier

The Quarry Road Trails were packed today with skiers of all ages including many members of our Middle School team who competed in their first race yesterday.  Congrats to the team on some amazing finishes and we can’t wait to host the middle school league for a race at Quarry Road on Wednesday.   If you are not racing, come on out and watch!
