The Nordic ski Team travelled to Atikokan yesterday to compete in their second race of the season. Warm temperatures and hard, fast course conditions were a welcome change from the recent cold, and Eagles skiers performed very well! In the Jr Girls category, novice skier Jamee Desserre placed 4th while Toni Tetroe placed 6th. In Jr Boys, Nick Peters took second, with Liam Jones placing an impressive 4th, Callum Kriese in 6th and Ben Wright in 7th. The very competitive Sr Girls category saw Dryden take 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th places – Corrin Kuzemchuck, Amy Wickstrom, Payton Zilkalns, Sarah Urquhart and Varja Lindstrom. Lastly, in the Sr boys category that was dominated by Atikokan who took the top 3 spots, Dryden’s Mike Leutschaft placed a strong 4th with Josh Carruthers placing 6th after an injury. The next race will be at the Dryden Ski Club Annual Turkey Burner Race this Sunday. |
