Hey there, MAST Family! This week was one for the books, starting with a canceled race thanks to an unforgiving cold snap that had us all feeling the chill. As soon as the weather allowed, we were back on the course — though not without challenges. A wave of sickness hit many of our skiers, but that didn’t stop us from giving it our all. Despite the hurdles, our athletes showed incredible resilience, pushing through tough conditions and illness to give us a race to remember! Coach’s Race Recap Afton presented some icy and fast conditions, challenging but fun courses, and some stiff competition. But we hung on, showed our grit, and placed 8 Varsity Boys and 10 Varsity Girls in the top 20. Eva Voyakin grabbed 4th place and Lucy Renz got 8th. The boys just missed placing in the top 10, but major applause goes to the return of Sam Hokanson who had a killer night - and our wise captain, Beckett Krueger, who showed his strength on the course and declared ‘I just can’t believe I’m back. It feels so great.’ MISSING IN ACTION: Xavier Turpin is missing a pole! Last seen: Afton Alps.
