CLC recap :)

What a day full of some crazy triumphant moments!

Something unique to cross country skiing is that each competitor not only competes against their opponents but also against the elements of nature in the race course and in ever varying snow conditions. Today was one of those days the elements posed extra challenges. The snow was icy, the kick wax was hit or miss for classic, the corners were fast, and the climbs were long. Regardless of all that, each skier got out there and worked their hardest which resulted in some great finishes across the board!

Way to represent Tech well skiers! It was incredible watching each of you get out there and ski with passion and determination. It was also incredible seeing you all out there cheering for each other and celebrating at the finish. Those are the memories that will last a lifetime!

All Conference award winners: Katie Williams, Kaethe Schroder, Cory Rouw, Zeb Osgood, and Isaac Weiber
Honorable Mention award winner: Carter Scheele 

Although we didn't get the conference title for the boys this year and the lack of snow has been a challenge, I am reminded of the lyrics from The Rolling Stones: "You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you just might find that you get what you need!" Regardless of the tricky elements and Brainard skiing very well, we still had fun and got some good work in before sections!

TOMORROW: Meet at Riverside for a good ski! Also, see the schedule below for the Jr.High Championship race on Thursday. It would be GREAT to have the whole team out there cheering after school that day! Plan to be there!
