Ben Momber had a slight hike on his first run giving him :33.85, but his second run came in at :20.13 giving him 74th. Boys Slalom: With the course rapidly deteriorating in the warm temperatures and high winds, Ben LaDuke raced down with 28.97 first run and :28.08 second run for a combined time of :57.05 taking 16th place. Travis Berklund came down with :30.83 and :29.16 for a combined time of :59.99 for 25th place. Chris Smith got shot off course and jumped right back in there for a first run of :34.85.

Alex Harris nailed 36th place with :33.04 and :31.71, Ben Momber had to hike on his first run giving him :41.28, but his second run proved to be a good one with 29.61 giving him 45th. Tom Meoak came in 52nd with his runs of :39.23 and :37.63. There were A LOT of tight races against teams and individuals at today's race as you can see by the times and scores. The team should feel proud of their individual successes and how they work toward team goals and standings! You have made your schools proud OHS, Frankfort and BearLake! Ski Team Schedule 11/18/01
