On a beautiful ski day with gorgeous snow and conditions for the first time in years at Rumford CSU had several qualifiers at the JOQ classic sprints today in Rumford. Hilary Rich qualified in the women's race and then in the quarter finals squeeked out a very narrow 2nd place to advance to the semi-finals. Hilary was in 3rd coming down the hill into the stadium and simply out double-poled the competition! In the semis Hilary finished in 3rd, putting her in the B final where she finished a strong 2nd, giving her 6th place overall. Jackson Rich qualified in the boy's J2 race and was fourth in his semi-final which put him into the B final, but that was cancelled because of the lateness of the day. He came in 7th on the day. Nadija Kern also qualified in the girl's J2 elimination round finishing 11th for the day.
Big news of the day was that Peter Rummel, now a freshman at Colby, finished 2nd in the qualifying race, an awesome performance in this crowd of fast skiiers! Matt Briggs qualified in 6th. Matt went on to the A final and finished in 2nd, while Peter made it into the B final and also finished 2nd in that race, putting him in 8th overall. In the photos above, Peter is on the left, leading the quarter-final while Matt is on the right, leading his quarter-final. Hilary can be seen in her quarter-final race.
