Class B Classic Championships

 In Thursday's Classical race, three of our girls placed in the top 20. Emma placed 20th, Annah placed 13th, and Sadie placed 3rd. For the boys, the top three were Trent 31st, Nick 25th and Jay placed 17th. The boys raced first.

The MTA Nordic ski team had many supporters there cheering them on with cowbells, cheering and photography. A great time was had by all!

After the boys finished their race, it was time to adjust the wax on the girls' skis. The temperature was rising with the bright sunshine. Coaches Sal and Buzz are experts in the art of waxing which plays a critical role in the success of our skiers.
