OHS/BL/Brethren Girls take 2nd place overall in the LMSC meet January 13th at Crystal Mountain | |
| There
is some fun, yet competitive racing going on amongst the
members of the girls team which is appearing to be
beneficial for the team as a whole. Their Competitive
spirit is sparking some faster racing and tonight it
resulted in a super finish for the team . In the girl's slalom event , Dani Olson led the team to a second place finish as a team with her 4th place finish. Dani's times were:29.71 and :29.93 respectively. Helping to secure that standing was team mate Emily Harwell of Brethren with her 6th place and times of :30.38 and :29.66. Monika Higley nailed 10th with :32.72 on her first run and :32.38 for her second run. Kelli Waligorski wrapped up 11th place with times of :32.21 and :33.06 giving the team 31 pts for the event and second place. Girls team Slalom:
The girls team went on to place 3rd as a team in Giant Slalom with 44 points tallied. Senior Dani Olson once again led the team with her 6th place and times of :22.85 and :23.42. Emily Harwell kept it close with her 7th place finish and times of :22.93 and :23.47. Monika Higley grabbed 14th with times of :24.36 and :25.79 and Kelli Waligorski finished 17th with :26.83 and :27.26. Girls Team Giant Slalom:
When speaking with Coach Mathieu tonight after the races, he pointed out that the boys are coming right along and if there hadn't have been a couple of the bobbles/DNF's naturally the team standings would have been higher. It's always a tough swallow to take those points you don't want. Freshman Donny Olson has gone from snowplowing to carving, Jessie Ketchum and Garret Samsal are right on top of it. BJ is also improving. Coach Mathieu will continue to fine tune and tweak the teams. ***How are we doing Coach Miller? Like what you see so far? We know you are missing every minute of it and we are missing you! It's nice to know that you are still watching from afar!*********** Thanks you, |
The OHS/Brethren boy's team placed
5th as a team in Giant Slalom with 83 points. Jesse
Ketchum led the team effort with his 8th place finish and
times of :20.57 and and 21:07. Garret Samsal placed 18th
with :22.86 and :22.42, Donny Olson carved his way to a
26th place with times of :29.21 and :27.78. BJ Bobbins
had a first run of :23.83, but DNF'd his second run. Boy's team GS:
Placing 5th as a team in Slalom with 80 points the boy's nailed 14th, 15th, 22nd and 29th places. Jesse Ketchum led the team with his times of :29.48 and :27.82 and 14th. Garret Samsal had runs of :28.93 and :28.66 for 15th and BJ Bobbins placed 22nd with :32.29 and :34.06. Freshman Donny Olson finished 29th with :39.27 and :39.37. Boy's team Slalom:
To clear up some confusion as to why there is no BL in the boy's name, quite simply, the co-op has once again changed for this year. The Bear Lake boys are co-oping with Manistee, however , the Bear Lake girls remain with Onekama.
