Our racers waiting for their first runs at Thursday's Race (due to winter break and illness, we had about half of our team at the race)
Otsego, MI — The CMS Ski Racing Team opened up its conference race season Feb 24th at Bittersweet Ski area and they team skied well on a very "hard packed Michigan race surface". This year, the conference consists of teams from Grand Rapids Christian Middle School and Grand Rapids Catholic United. We were excited to add another team to the conference this season.
The five best boys scores (combining each skiers best two runs) and the five best girls scores are used to determine the meet winner and each teams points add up to determine the Conference Champion after the third race, which is Saturday March 5th at Cannonsburg Ski Area. The top ten boys and top ten girls earn medals for the race series and the final placement is based on their two best races.
Aidan Brown, 7th grader, won the race with the best time for all racers. Also scoring for the boys were Charlie Doan (7th place), Junior Harper (8th place), Derrick Prichard (9th), and Brennan Donnelly (10th). Also racing for the boys were Luke Smith (16th) and Jahmal Spence (33rd).
Leading the way for the girls team was Lynzi Wolbrink (7th place), Ada Decker (14th Place), Katie Honhart (18th) and Maggie Koopman (21st).
