In addition to the athletes selected to compete at Junior World Championships in Romania, Cross Country Canada sent a Junior B-team to Europe for back-t0-back weekends of races in Germany and Switzerland.
With five male and five female athletes, this development tour was for juniors that just missed out on a Junior Worlds spot, and consisted of two weekends of racing in German National Championships in Oberhof, Germany, and an Alpen Cup in Campra, Switzerland, from Jan. 24-Feb. 8. Athletes learned a lot, from how Europeans race to the type of food to expect at these overseas races.
