Hall of Famer,
Coach Dale Miller, held a short meeting to fill everyone
in of the Training Clinic/Trip to Copper Mt. in Colorado
as well as the up coming Ski swap that will be held at
Crystal Mt. The Swap will be held Oct 30th and the
Colorado trip is scheduled for Dec. 10th. Once again, he
is planning a clinic here in Michigan at Boyne where we
hope all racers can attend which should be shortly after
the Colorado training.
The Team is
still looking for new members male or female, however the
girls team would like to add a few more to their roster.
There is still time to join. If anyone is interested in
the Colorado trip, they should get with Coach Miller in
the next few days as reservations must be made soon! A
$300.00 deposit secures your seat on the plane and a spot
in the clinic.
Dryland
training will kick in shortly and training will be
rotated at each school once it begins. Brethren has a
nice weight room facility and Bear Lake is known for
their excellent running courses. We all know about the
OHS school hill that the coaches love to use for
training. *grin*
Coach Miller
plans on soccer matches again this year to build team
effort and agility. Once the snow flies, the team will be
on the hill at Crystal Mt.
In the front,
left to right, veteran racers Dani Olson (OHS) and Monika
Higley (BLHS)listen as Coach Miller explains how a few
more female racers would be a nice addition to the team.
Mrs. Samsal and Mr.Higley listen as well. The Boy's team
seems to have 7-9 members to date and the girls 4-5. If
anyone is interested in joining a team that went to State
last year and is Coached by a Michigan Coach Hall of Fame
Coach, contact any ski team member , Coach Curt Mathieu
or Coach Dale Miller.
