News from the 2008-2009 Season
Conference Champions!
Boys nordic took first place at the Twin Cities Nordic Conference Championship on Friday January 23rd. The girls also had a good race with many athletes having their best races yet while taking 2nd place in the St Paul City Conference! Both teams chose a good point in the season to begin peaking. The results are here.
Greystone Challenge Results (1/17/09)
We had another good meet today. Our very own Kelin D on the boys team won the skate race. The conditions were rather blustery and cold but it seemed like the racers had fun with the back to back mass start format beginning with classic 5k followed nearly immediately by the 5k skate.
New pictures from this year have been posted. More forthcoming.
TCNSC 5k Classic at Wirth (1/6/09)
