CCHS Girls
The CCHS girls’ team faced some stiff competition but came away with a first place in the meet held at Mont du Lac.
Ali Duclos had some bad luck with crashes in her first two races, but this time she completed both runs and ended up in second place. Kalina Dimitrova finished third, Genivieve Silence was fifth, Sophia Blanc eighth, Liv Hedstrom 12th, and AnnaBelle Silence finished 14th.
Commenting on the meet, Head Coach John Oberholtzer said, “This is a great group of kids to work with. The kids get along well and are easy to coach. We’re young but we have some talented skiers who are eager to improve. It will be fun to see how this season plays out.”
This year there is a change to the way sections will be handled. In the past the top two teams qualify for the state meet but Oberholtzer said this year there would be two section meets, with the top finishers in each qualifying for state.
