Good Evening MAST Athletes, Coaches, Parents and Friends: There is a lot of information included below - results from tonight, details for Friday at Wild Mtn and more. We debated putting the results at the bottom in hopes that would ensure you all read every detail, but then we thought, heck, it’s the holiday season, so give them a gift and put the results first. Don’t make us regret this decision, fam. Race #1 - Coach Recap & Results! We had great temps and a nice crowd for our inaugural race of the 2024/2025 season. First, a big THANK YOU to all of our parents and coaches who worked today’s race. The race ran incredibly well. You braved the cold and did quality work on the hill. And, thank you, parents, siblings, and alumni, for supporting our athletes. We will need your help again as races get going at a quick clip in January so stay on the lookout for signup links in future communications. Before we get to the results, I want to congratulate all the athletes on a strong first race and a special shout out to those individuals for whom this was their first ski race ever. Pushing out of that start gate can feel intimidating. I hope you had fun and are excited to get back to training and your next race! As a whole, our team demonstrated strong technique both runs. The coaches agree that there is opportunity to work on our tactical skills but Joel also feels he may have set too tough of a course… Feel free to send any grief his way! Now for the results! Congratulations to our winners, Sam Moore and Lucy Renz! You both had commanding wins: Sam by a half second ahead of teammate, Henry Payne, and Lucy Renz by over eight-tenths ahead of teammate Eva Voyakin. The Southwest girls took home the proverbial trophy by sweeping the first four places and the Washburn boys swept their podium as well. On both sides of the race, the Washburn girls and Southwest boys are nipping at the heels of the other schools. All of your teams are deep and have the opportunity to achieve excellent results this season so keep training hard!! The results will continue to come, slowly but surely. -Coach Eleanor Details for Friday’s WILD MOUNTAIN INVITATIONAL IMPORTANT TIMES

Wild Mountain Invitational Sign Up 12/20/24 Note: Athletes should meet the bus at 6:15am to load. Please come to the bus wearing your hat, gloves, and gs suit. This will allow you to stand in the cold should the bus be late, carry your gear to the trailer without shivering away your energy, assist (effectively) with trailer loading duties, and speed up the time it takes you to get out on the hill to warm up before inspection. In the wise words of Mark - it will also demonstrate to your coaches that you have some brain cells. Wild Athletes & parents: You will be receiving an invoice via TeamSnap for lift tickets at Wild. We do our best to keep fees low, and ask athletes to handle the group rate lift tickets. Thank you for handling this at your earliest convenience! MAST RACE ON DECEMBER 23rd CANCELED - PRACTICE WILL BE ON After debating for a week, the coaches have determined that it will be most productive to cancel this race and return it to a training day. We have great lanes for training that night and will use timing and will also film. With tonight’s race and the Wild Invitational, getting two races in before Christmas is a great start before camp at Giant’s Ridge. BUFF SALE EXTENDED ONE DAY!!!! Don’t snooze on this! Custom MAST buffs are available for pre-order! These are special! MAST parent alum and stellar artist, Brien Spanier, graciously brought our Captains’ and Coryn’s visions to life!
