Good Looking Crew at the Atlantic Cup

Here's the gang after a good weekend of racing!! Results will follow. Good luck to those off to J1 Nationals next week and have a good March Break to the rest of you.

A big Success at Crabbe

To all Crabbe Mountain Ski Racers and Parents:

I am writing this on Monday morning while listening to the first run of GS from the Olympics. What a run from JF Bourque from a small place near Restigouche!

Many thanks to absolutely everyone for the work over the weekend to make the ski races happen. To say the least, we were challenged by the weather. Rain on Friday and bitter cold on Saturday and Sunday certainly took a lot of the fun away from it but I never heard an athlete complain. Our athletes shared the newly renovated race shack with other athletes from other clubs and it all worked out. We had help from other clubs to make it happen. Dan’s system of pairing gatekeepers was super, thanks Dan! We should remember their help when we visit other races; I know I will be gate keeping at Wentworth if they need me to.

Mandy made the front page of the local paper; I can’t ever remember seeing that happen. Hannah had a color picture in the sports section. Thanks to the Gleaner and Dave Smith who I am sure he had some influence in this happening.

I have to go to work but thanks again to everyone who helped in any role because every role is essential for a successful ski race!

Many Thanks from Rien

Many Thanks to all of you that emailed and gave support to me on Saturday at the race. I appreciate all your support and concern. I would also like to thank all the coaches and parents that stepped up to help while I was absent. I look forward to getting back on the skis and coaching at Wentworth next weekend for the Atlantic Cup.

Please email me your interest in attending this race, Friday,Saturday/Sunday. I need to get registration in on Tuesday night. Thanks again Rien

K1 Score at Wentworth

Congratulations to all our athletes that at the last minute travelled to Wentworth for the Giant Slalom and Slalom Races on Saturday. It was a jam packed day at Wentworth with 2 runs of each GS and SL on Saturday. Thank you to all the parents that travelled the long road to Wentworth for this race and getting the kids to the hill on time.

In the Medals:

K1 Boys Lincoln Esau with Silver Medals in both GS and Slalom.
Entry Girls: Medals by both Michele Levesque and also Mina Teague.

I would like to get these results into the radio/newspaper but I did not get a copy of the official results. If anyone has the standings for Michele and Mina please email them to me.....thanks.

P.S. the military base is an interesting experience, great place for a team to stay!!
