Hi,
Wednesday's race at Libby Hill continued the string of good fortune as we enjoyed another fine winter day,sun and cold tempertures.The 5 k skate race was the first visit to the G/NG race site for many of us and it is an impressive community facility.The Girls team was lead by a season best 3rd place by Zoe and a strong 7th by Teagan with Emelie skiing to a solid 15 despite suffering with a breathing issue .Because we only had three finishers the team is not listed in team results however as a three person team their total score would have placed them near the top.
In the Boys race Ben lead off and finished a very strong 8th while skiing with one of the states top male skiers for the first third of the race. The MST welcomed freshman Juan Mesones to the team this past week and in his first outing skated to an impressive 13th place followed closely by Jack Pierce in 15th place. Phineas continues to improve and was a solid 27 a little over a minute back of Juan and Jack. Tyler and Brian continued their trend of skiing at about the same pace with Tyler edging in front this time. Lief,returned to the team after a nasty bought of illness and rounded out the boys scoring.The boys team ended in fourth place and with in striking distance of third.

As you know Monday is MLK day and the race scheduled is a Classic mass start at Riverside Golf course in Portland. The start time is at 10:30 with the girls first. Jennifer Chace will be leaving Desert Rd. at 7:45 with a van. She will be in touch over the weekend to confirm drivers. If you are getting there on your own plan to be there no later than 9am as we will need to apply kick wax before the race. Please have skis waxed for glide and we will apply kick wax on site,remember to have kick zones cleaned and marked.
Thanks,
John
