Mass Skate Qualifier

Weston put together a great course for the Mass Qualifier on Sunday, held in cold but brilliant sunshine.  Weston has gone wild making mounds of awesome snow, raising bumps and adding elevation to Mt. Weston.  Everything was in fabulous shape as juniors from across the state skied a two lap, 6km course in the first of the two state qualifiers to determine who will make the state J2 and E. High School teams for the championships in March. 

CSU had an excellent day as everyone stepped it up and skied very well.  On the boys side CSU took the top 5 spots and 10 of the top 15.  Eli Hoenig, going out first, hung on to take the win over Hamish McEwen by 9 seconds, with Rion O'Grady in 3rd, Chris Burnham 4th and Ian Meyer in 5th.  On the girls side Olivia Meyerson came home in first by 11 seconds over Mt. Greylock's Mackenzie Hitchcock.  CSUers Zoe Snow was tied with Mackenzie and Hannah Smith finished in 4th.  CSU girls held 5 of the top 10 and 8 of the top 15.  For the J2s, Hamish was first, Chris Zoziel 2nd, Sean Skahen 4th and Max LaChance 5th, while Zoe Snow as 1st, Charlotte Cole 2nd, Rebecca Smith 4th and Julia Schiantarelli 5th.  All results are posted on the CSU Junior site.
