The race against Glen Lake which was postponed due to Sugar Loaf not opening was finally held at Crystal Mtn tonight. No wind, good snow and temperatures made for a good race. Glen Lake is a fast team ,but OHS kept them hopping. The boys team finished 2nd overall taking 4th ,7th,10th, 11th, 14th and 15th
placings while Glen Lake took the 1st, 2nd,5th, 8th,9th and 18th places in Slalom. Bellaire team grabbed a couple good placings from Glen
Lake also with 3rd, 6th and the remainder of 12th, 13th and 16th. Ben LaDuke's combined time of :47.86 put him in the 4th spot. Chris Smith's combined time of :49.67 gave him 7th. Travis Berklund came in 10th with :54.99. Tom Meoak placed 11th with 1:05.79. Ben Momber had a small hike on his first run ,but his second run of :26.15 for a combined time of 1:12.98
put him in 14th. Alex Harris had :20.04 on his first run and :47.16 on his second run putting him in 15th.
In the Boys GS, Ben LaDuke grabbed 3rd place with a combined time of :36.57.Travis Berklund took the 10th spot with his time of:39.94. Ben Momber was right on Travis's heels with his combined time of :39.97 for 11th. Chris took the 12th place with :41.74, Alex Harris 13th 44:18 and Tom Meoak 14th, :44.81. Glen Lake took the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th placings, while Bellaire claimed 6th, 9th, 15th, 16th and 17th places, putting OHS squarely in 2nd place for the race.
Girls GS put Kaylie Mathieu in 4th with her combined time of :40.18, Kelli Hopwood 7th :41.46 and Charlotte Kalbach 10th with :43.25. Caitlin Brooks would have to settle for 13th with her combined time of :46.62 and Amanda Redder 16th with 1:02.05. Glen Lake won the GS race with Bellaire 2nd.
Girls Slalom once again put Kaylie Mathieu in 3rd with a time of :27.11 first run and :26.91 second run for a combined time of :54.02. Charlotte Kalbach came in 7th with 1:00.47, Kelli Hopwood 11th with 1:06.38, Amanda Redder 16th with 1:22.43 and Caitlin Brooks 17th with 1:24.64. Bellaire won the Girls slalom race with Glen Lake second and OHS coming in 3rd. It should be noted that the girls team lost Erica Jach early on in the race due to a fall, forcing her to spend the majority of the race in the med shack. I'm sure this may have been on the girls team mind as they continued on with the race, and I have no doubt that it impacted the outcome of the race as she is a consistant scorer for the team. Erica will be fine, with only some scrapes and bruises and is gearing for Regionals which will be held 2-14-02 at Crystal Mtn.
