Boy's Finish 5th overall and Girls 6th at the Cadillac Invitational |
| A
conference race had already been postponed this week due
to warm, wet and icy weather. The teams wondered how
Mother Nature could possibly play these sort of games
with the ski teams in the middle of January. They held
their breath in hopes that the latest rains would not
stop yet another race. Seven schools met at Caberfae for
the Cadillac Invitational and bullied Mother Nature,
determined to go on with the race. 40 boys from Class A
through D schools competed for the 6 medals that would be
handed out for each event. Charging through slushy snow
Chris Smith led the team to a 5th place finish in GS with
his 8th place and times of :30.43 and :30.99 Jackson

Fisher came in 21st with :32.12 and 32.40. Garret Samsal
