Brainerd Invite Results & Photos
Cold day at the Arb today! Hopefully everyone is thawed out and warmed up. Photos are kind of hit and miss too because of trying to warm up and the camera being slow to focus.

Here is your Christmas Break Practice Schedule again:
Friday 22nd: Practice on your own, so families can get where they need to be for Christmas.Easy Recovery Day
Saturday 23rd-27th: Practice on your own. Varsity is allowed 2 days off during this time, but I would recommend skiing as much as you can. Put in the hours. We need lots of time on snow and endurance. Most days should be long skis and you can change up the paces you are going. Example: one day slow, one day a faster tempo, workout, slow recovery day.
Workout: 1 day you need to do 4 by 5 minutes of a hard sprint. With 2 mins recovery ski in between and a warm-up and cool down before and after.
Thursday 28th and Friday 29th: Practice 2pm (Location will be sent out later)
Saturday 30th: Meet at Northland Arboretum, Brainerd
- 2nd - Hunter
- 6th - Colton Y
- 8th - Jackson
- 4th - Alice
- 8th - Molly
Boys finished 2nd overall, behind Mora, and the girls finished 4th.
Top JV finishers were Jonah and....not sure yet for girls.
Top Jr High finishers were Lindy and Grant.

PreSeason Rankings
"The Minnesota high school Nordic skiing is well underway now in December, though most of the teams still haven’t had the opportunity to strap on their poles and click into skis for some actual on-snow experience. Yet those lucky enough to have man-made snowmaking courses could be racing as soon as this week!"
Well, we don't have man-made snowmaking courses but that's never stopped us before. Both Hunter and Colton Y are noted individually as being in the top 20, and the boys' team is "on the cusp" of the top 10 -- along with Cathedral/Sartell and Brainerd. In our Section, the Moorhead and Brainerd girls' teams are also on the cusp but it remains to be seen if they'll be able to stay ahead of our returning varsity skiers and upcoming young skiers.
