Nationals Classic Sprint

Sverre CaldwellJanuary 10, 2010

Nationals ended up with a classic sprint. It was a beautiful day with temps in the mid 20’s and a fun way to end a great week.divNews of the day was that Tyler Kornfield, a Jr from AK, was National Champ! I guess that means that our Jrs can stop making excuses and get after it!/divdivWe were happy with our week. The competition was very strong and it was good to bang heads. We did very well (3 skiers named on the J1 Scando trip), but realize that we have a ways to go. /divdivbr /Click on any picture to enlarge.a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/S0n5VF_K9TI/AAAAAAAAB5g/GX_fq_HkRlE/s1600-h/IMG_2168.JPG”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 334px;” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/S0n5VF_K9TI/AAAAAAAAB5g/GX_fq_HkRlE/s400/IMG_2168.JPG” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425141366924178738″ //aGage striding up the 2nd hill.br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/S0n4_9AmT6I/AAAAAAAAB5Y/JYjsFRCyVh0/s1600-h/IMG_2175.JPG”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 234px;” src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/S0n4_9AmT6I/AAAAAAAAB5Y/JYjsFRCyVh0/s400/IMG_2175.JPG” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425141003736993698″ //aSkyler qualified for the open heats (30th overall)!
