With extremely high winds, last night was a crazy end to our regular season! Our Varsity Boys and Varsity and JV Girls all took first place in last night's giant slalom and Heiliger Huegel. Our JV Girls Blue took second to our Red Team and our JV Boys did not have enough athletes to compete in the team division.

With last night's win, our girls won the MHSSC Conference Championship and our boys secured second place in conference. Our JV Girls Red Team also won the Conference Championship with an undefeated season. With their records, the JV Girls qualified for the JV Championship on Feb. 20th at Sunburst and both our Boys and Girls Varsity qualified for the State Championships in La Crosse next weekend.

CONGRATULATIONS to all our athletes on their dedication to improvement, their demonstrated commitment to their teammates and their season's results!
Last night's results produced several podium finishes for our team.

Top 5 finishes for our Varsity Girls included Megan Isabell in 5th, Kaitlyn Sonnemann in 4th, Annalyse Hower bending her skies for bronze and Landry Rebella going gonzo for gold!

Our JV Girls filled the podium with all top 5 spots! Stella! Huggett in 5th, Maddy Nelson in 4th, Ellie Roberts banking bronze, Brooke Hetherington streaking to silver, and Anna Shotola - the Shotola of Rock n’ Rolla grabbing gold again!
