Craftsbury Ski Club’s Tillie Lange Second at NENSA Eastern High School Championships

North Creek, N.Y. – Tillie Lange, an 11^th grader at St. Johnsbury Academy, has been skiing with the Craftsbury Ski Club (CSC) since before middle school. The CSC provides extra coaching and training for skiers both during the snow season and the rest of the year. Many students from around the region take advantage of the opportunity and the CSC coaches provide support at the Eastern Cup competitions. Lange has had many top finishes over the years but she had an amazing stint as part of the 24-person team for Vermont at the New England Nordic Ski Assocation’s Eastern High School Championships. Each state puts together a team of the top skiers from each state to compete. The four race, three-day weekend is such and event the New York, Great Lakes, and Midwest send smaller teams out to join the fun. And it really is a lot of fun with over 220 high schoolers skiing and cheering each other on. Lange had 2^nd, 3^rd, and 5^th places. Other CSC skiers included Adele Pritchard 7, Anya Moriarity 12, and Aemilia Terrone 21. On the boys side, Magnus Hayden finished 16^th overall with Oakley Crawford 22, Max Demaine 45, and Oryon Hart 55.
