We won the Alaska Cup which is an award given to the region that has the most points and therefore the best racing all week. New England beat the all time record by 50 something points so there was lots of celebrating on Saturday night. We wrapped the week up with the dance and we all had a blast. After a short but sweet night we hopped in the van and headed back to Vermont. After 10 hours we got back to campus and I think we all headed to bed pretty early. Stay tuned for some more info from the athletes that went to Eastern High School Championships and the biathlon camp. o:p/o:p/span/p p class=”MsoNormal”span style=””A group of athletes is heading back up to Northern Maine for some the last races of the season.
