February 13 – U14 – GS at Jozo Weider

Back at the races this weekend. U14 athletes were at Jozo Weider for a GS race. It was a long drive with bad conditions on icy and unsalted roads but all worth it once at the hill. Snow came down like it should and some sun eventually peaked out. Kids and parents had a good time on the hill and back in the lounge and eating inside the restaurants. Official results are not in yet. But our kids did well. In order of their speed:
Girls:
Avery Oh with a combined time of 1:25:61 , Sophia Jafree 1:31:01, Mia Doesn 1:31:66
Boys:
Alex Herrington, Ethan Jiang, Erik Neufeld
See you back at training this Thursday night.
