Recap
Otsego, MI — "We really skied well again tonight but just could not get enough extra speed to get past Mattawan/Paw Paw! Our guys really knocked down some great runs at this meet and I am proud of their efforts on an extremely cold night. Ben DeGood and Tyler Dean traded off leading the team in each event and the rest of our starters chipped in to help when a team mate had a rough run. Our team is so balanced that if we drop a skier due to a DQ or DNF our next guy is there with a very similar time--the Caledonia Clump, as we call it pushes our opponents back in the overall helping keep our score low. Our challenge is that Mattawan is grabbing enough of the top placements we are not blocking them out like in the past." Coach Petrosky "I am extremely proud of the effort that my guys are making and our goal is continue to push ourselves and close the gap on a very fast Mattawan team."
The Scots were led by Ben DeGood (4.5 th GS & 6th SL), Tyler Dean ( 4th SL & 9th GS), Tyler Roy (6th GS), Mason Peters (10th GS), Brayden Smith (12th SL) and Sean Rice (13th SL).
The Caledonia B Team won their meet by edging out Mattawan/Paw Paw by a couple points. The Scots were led by freshman DJ Potgeter (2nd GS & 4th SL), Carsen Kamminga (3rd SL & 6th GS), Mario Roeseske (5th GS & 8th Sl), Luke Shuster (1st GS), and Ben Diegel (6th Sl).
Next week Caledonia will be racing Wednesday at Timber Ridge in the fourth SWMSC meet of the season and on Friday at Crystal Mountain at the Benzie Invitational.
