State Meet Results and Photos

Flyer skiers returned home last night from Biwabik.  We had two girls relay teams and a boys relay team racing on Wednesday in the Charlie Banks Relay, and two individuals on Thursday in the State Championships.  Congratulations to all of the skiers, not just on this week's races, but on a great season!  Hoping next year brings everyone back again and a little more snow to ski on!  Lots of links below...

Section 8 Meet Coverage and Photos

It was a tough day at Maplelag, with a 2nd place spot initially posted for the girls, earning them a trip to the state meet.  Then an hour later, the trip was taken away when a corrected error bumped them to third -- Mora, Cathedral and the Flyers all scoring within ONE point of one another.  The girls skied hard and represented Little Falls well.

Brainerd was the favorite in the boys' race and ended up placing second behind St Cloud Tech.  The Flyer boys finished just 3 points behind Mora, another very solid team, for 4th place.  The boys looked strong today and ended the season with great races.

Both Kendal Hendrickson and Hunter Zupko will compete individually in the state meet next week.

Congratulations to all of the skiers on a great season!
