Congratulations are going out to the nordic skiers from Mayfield Secondary School, who have made it back from the winter wonderland in Timmins with great success.
Coaches Huet and Cuda are very proud of the focus and effort they put forward to do their best in their races and how they conducted themselves on the entire trip.
The distance event day started with Rory McDonald blazing around the Para Course with his guide Noah Chalifoux to place third overall para and earn a gold for the standing classic division.
Next, the junior girls pooled their efforts to place 10th overall in the distance led by Julia Ungureanu. They combined their team efforts to place ninth overall on the sprint day, coming in six seconds ahead of their rivals from Humberview. Emma Wilson, Taylor Rasmussen and Ashley Skinkle rounded out the team.
The junior boys were on fire, led by William Wootton, Tyler Downey, Matt Shaw and Justin Vanstone to place sixth in the distance event and moved up to an exciting fifth in the team sprint.
The senior girls were led by Emma Grove in the distance event. She went on to lead an exciting first place start to the relay team sprints on the second day. Emma was joined with Katya Dondi, Karina McDonald and Alex Azzopardi.
The senior boys demonstrated a lot of focus and determination placing them on the podium in eighth for the distance. Then they moved into another gear to place them sixth in the sprints. The team was made up of John Milkovich, Michael Wootton, Daniel Shaw and Josh Mihkelson who all finished great races.
Special thanks to Rachel Chan Yaneff, who donated her time and expertise to help with the necessary waxing and additional coaching needs.
