SMS Skiers Make USST Trips

Sverre CaldwellJanuary 7, 2011

We had the 5/10 km skate for the Juniors on Thursday. The competition was tough and everyone was going for it. Paddy gets our “skier of the day” award as he skied himself onto the USST J1 trip with a great race.br /This race was the last of the 3 qualifiers for both the J1 Scando trip and the Jr World trip. Everyone counts their best 2 of 3 races and the top 6 boys and girls from the US in each age group are named. We had Skyler and Heather (and alum Izzy C) qualify for Jr World Championships and Paddy, Heather and Cambria qualify for the J1 trip. Wow!!! Congratulations also to New England skier Jack Hegman from MMU for being named to the J1 trip and to Scott Patterson and Amy Glen from UVM for making the Jr World trip. Also, congrats to all of the other skiers from around the country for making these trips, we will all be cheering for you.br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TScoSfMJJXI/AAAAAAAAF5k/2aSA2sArzFI/s1600/IMG_0694.JPG”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TScoSfMJJXI/AAAAAAAAF5k/2aSA2sArzFI/s400/IMG_0694.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559456563087353202″ //aPaddy had a great race.
