Jr High Championships Results & Photos

We really had a nice, mild day for the last Jr High meet of the season and were lucky to get the meet in before the heat wave coming this week. Congrats to the 6th-9th graders on a great end to the season and good luck to all the skiers on the Section team!

Fergus Falls Invite - Results and Photos

We got to ski Spidahl's Ski Gaard on Thursday for the first time in many years. Fresh snow and hills, so very different than the skiing in Little Falls this year!

We also learned this week that the MSHSL made some decisions about the winter sports state tournaments. Nordic Ski is scheduled for March 12 at Giant's Ridge (tentatively). That's Eli representing LF in the photo on the MSHSL page!  :)

Skinnyski also published Round 3 of their high school rankings, which has our boys' team and the Brainerd boys' team in the top 10 in the state and two of the Bemidji boys on the cusp of the top 10 as individuals.
