First High School Ski Race of the Season

CRAFTSBURY – Northern Vermont high schoolers had a chance to enjoy the good snow before last week’s thaw skiing around a 2.5 km course one or two times. Skiers went out in wave starts. The racers utilized the venue where the U.S. Biathlon trials were starting the following day, thus were treated to elaborate fencing and course marking.

Finn Nunnery (CA), and 29.  Beckham English (Hazen). In the girls race, Bea Johnson (CA) placed first with Ada Allen 2nd (CA), and Amare Hansen 12th (CA). In the varsity girls race, Claire Serrano (U32) was first in 14:56 with CA’s Aemelia Terrone 4th, and Lake Region’s (LR) Nora Demaine 6th. For the boys, People’s Academy Magnus Hayden set the pace winning in 13:54 followed by CA’s Oryon Hart, 2^nd; Oakley Crawford, CA, 4^th; Max Demaine, LR, 5^th; Jin Ramsey, PA, 18^th; and Linden Urie, LR, 22nd.
