Mass Classic Qualifier

CSU Juniors had another good day at the classic qualifier, which had to be moved from Mt. Greylock high school to Prospect Mt., VT due to a lack of snow.  Prospect, fortunately, had plenty of snow and had received a few inches of powder over the weekend so the skiing was excellent and the waxing was pretty easy....nothing like blue stick!  Makes a coaches job much easier!  As it was, almost all of the CSUers raced and we barely got all the skis done in time, which meant we didn't get to watch the boys race since we are busy waxing the girls' skis.  That explains why I only have photos from the girls.
Hannah Smith Takes Off!

CSU took many of the top spots once again with Isaac Hoenig winning on the boys side, followed by Andrew Reed in 3rd, Neil Garrison in 4th, Chris Burnham in 5th, Hamish McEwen in 6th and Rion O'Grady rounding out the top 10 in 10th.  On the girls side Hannah Smith took the top spot while Nadja Kern was 2nd, Cate Brams 4th and Olivia Meyerson in 6th.  Results can be seen here.

With the conclusion of this race the announcements were made for who qualified for the J2 team and the E. High School team.  All 6 of the CSU J2 girls and 5 CSU boys made the J2 team with 1 additional alternate.  For the EHS teams, 12 CSU boys made the team and 1 alternate and 9 girls made the team and 4 alternates.  Not a bad showing!!!
