Yesterday at Maplelag, the Varsity Boys finished 2nd as a team in the 9K continuous pursuit. A continuous pursuit consists of a classic race, an exchange zone where the athletes must change out all of their equipment in seconds, and it finishes with a skate race. 

The boys were led by Ethan Yorek who finished 2nd. He was followed by Connor Grant in 4th. Elliot Oberton (11th), Edward Sobiech (14th), and Alexander Oberton (16th) finished out the team score. 

Other top ten finishes for the boys include a 10th place finish by Christian Oslund in the JV race and a 4th place finish for Nicholas Sprang in the Junior High race. 

The Varsity Girls finished 5th as a team in the continuous pursuit. Bath Ahlin led the girls in 11th place. She was followed by Aliza Kresha in 21st. Sarah Wolbeck (25th), Ainsley Kresha (33rd), and Molly Petrowitz (41st) finished out the team score. 

Other top finishes for the girls include a 7th place for Emma Catlin in the JV race and Ellyse Yorek (8th), Adeline Sobiech (9th), and Courtney Herdering (12th) in the Junior High race. 

Below are a few racing pictures.

A note from Coach Mattia Hendrickson:

The boys finished 2nd as a whole team. Out of 22 relay teams, Connor Grant and Alex Oberton finished 3rd. Ethan Yorek and Elliot Oberton finished 5th and Angus Rustad and Edward Sobiech finished 10th.

The girls finished 4th as a whole team. The relay team of Beth Ahlin and Ainsley Kresha finished 7th. Aliza Kresha and Sarah Wolbeck finished 9th.

JV:
Chase Olsen finished 10th in the JV race.

Due to no snow, this was the first time the majority of the team put their skis on for the season. In addition, the athletes had to ski up a downhill ski course. Both the boys and girls competed well in the difficult racing conditions.

***Our next meet is Tuesday, December 7th at Detroit Mountain - ALL skiers will have the opportunity to race!
