Good Evening MAST Athletes, Coaches, Parents and Friends: Hard to believe that tonight was our last race at Hyland for the ‘24 - ‘25 season! Before getting started, we want to extend a huge thanks to Coryn Peterson for creating that last race party vibe with her unparalleled DJ skills. (Also noted, for being mere spectators you all have some very good, if questionable, dance moves!) Anyway, when thinking about Hyland Hills several words come to mind - compact, modest, small-scale, maybe even cozy. Also, swift, expeditious, speedy, and sprightly - especially when our MAST athletes take the slopes! See below for the coach’s recap of just how speedy our athletes went tonight (full results are attached) along with important information regarding Saturday at Giants, Monday at Wild, and the not-to-be-missed very, very special opportunity for parents coming 1/31/25!!!! Hyland Race vs. Hopkins, Lake Crystal and Wayzata - Coach Recap & Results I want to start off this message congratulating our seniors on completing their final Hyland race! We had some great results tonight with Washburn boys and Southwest girls coming out on top in the team results. We had some very speedy runs from Amelia Mortell, Reese Brothers, Eric Hemer, and Sully Hunt. The courses tonight really tested our inspection skills and reminded us what good and thorough inspections can do for our race runs. Big thank you to Captain Beckett K and Sammy H for always supporting their teammates while injured. Beckett gave us all a good reminder in the post race chat on how to finish the course strong. Looking forward to getting both of you back on the hill soon. And THANK YOU to our parents, alumni and coaches who worked not only tonight’s race, but all of the races we hosted this season. And, thank you as always, parents, family and friends, for supporting our athletes. With all the races we have in the next few weeks please remember to tune your skis, sleep, and get your homework done! Great job tonight everyone!
