Class A States Debrief and Plan for 2-23-2013

Click HERE to see a gallery of all Oxford Hills Skiers, Mt. Abram skiers & forerunners.

Congratulations to our Oxford Hills girls for their part in winning the State Championship earlier this week!  Leading the way for the team was Colleen Stauder with an 8th place finish in GS and a 7th place finish in SL.  Current Mt. Abram skiers who are on the Oxford Hills team include Annika Kahkonen - 10th in GS, Chris Burns 8th in GS and Amanda Hanning 15th in SL and 16th in GS.  Due to their top ten finishes, Colleen, Chris and Annika will be competing in the High School shootout to select a Maine team to compete in the New Englands.  Joining them are Mt Abram alumni and current OH skiers Ben Brown (6th SL and 7th GS) and Matt Michaud (8th SL and 9th GS).  Also congratulations to our own Hayden Pearson (Marshwood) for a very respectable showing in GS (28th) and SL (21st).

Thank you to our forerunners who showed the great level of skiers we have at Mt Abram.  Any of the forerunners could have skied in this Class A competition.  Thanks again Pierce, Sean, Sarah, Erin and Kaylie!

For a training plan this week we will be working on Free Skiing and Technique.  Please bring your SL skis (no need for protective gear).  The weekend will be busy with USCSA regionals on Saturday and Sunday (Boris) and the Fitch-Gilpatrick race on Saturday (Ego).  I will be checking in with USCSA to see if we can provide forerunners out of our older age group.  For those athletes please come prepared to race SL on Saturday and GS on Sunday if we can get you in.

See you at 8:30 Saturday, ready to ski!  Coach Reis
