BOYS CONTINUE THE PODIUM STREAK! 

Racing at Blue Mountain is the real deal. The mountain kept the race trail closed the day before our race in order to guarantee a phenomenal course. And it most certainly was! The race track held up to perfection this past Saturday, Feb. 11th at Blue Mountain in PA. All the athletes were thrilled for the opportunity to race on the long, fast course set from the top of Razors Edge down to the finish hut. 

BOYS SKI TEAMS:
Down a key varsity racer, our boys' ski team managed to keep their season podium streak alive and raced to a third-place finish. Pingry won the race with a team time of 8:19.27. Blair Academy raced to a second-place finish with a time of 8:31.00 and Sparta finished 3rd with a team time of 9:03.01. Assistant Captain James Kressman lead the boys' team with a combined time of 2:12.25 (8), immediately followed by Captain Kanna Pasunuri at 2:12.67 (9), George Flint at 2:15.03 (15), and Ben Dykstra at 2:23.06 (25).  The boys picked up 6 wins and 2 losses that were adjusted by .666 to 4 wins and 1 loss due to the large size of the event.

Leading the girls' ski team with a 5th-place individual finish was Madison Campisi with a combined time of 2:07.47. Also contributing to the girls' team time was Aubrey Zimmerman 2:19.52 (12), Julia Mooney 2:22.71 (15) and Devon Dobbs 2:25.46 (18).
