Although we had a few issues in SL, we didn't have any boy DQ tonight.

We have one girl who is from Bear Lake, Madeleine Smeltzer. She placed 11th in GS w/time of 47:85, but she had a DQ in SL 4 gates from the finish. I felt so bad for her. she had bad course conditions and borrowed skis that she had only take a few free runs with.

Glen lake finished 1st, Benzie 2nd, Bellaire 3rd and OHS 4th by only 1 pt.

Last weeks race we had Cameron w/ a 5th in SL and Parker w/ a 7th in SL/, and Parker w/ a 9th in GS things are going our way
