Good Afternoon: Hopefully everyone survived our very cold night on the hill last night. Race results were very exciting and positive, demonstrating just how deep the season-long improvement runs on the team. I believe I counted 17 Mpls skiers in the top 20 in both the boys' and girls' results. Thank you for your patience last night as we dealt with continuing timing issues. Not much any of us can do about that. Thank you to all the coaches who helped on the hill and all of the parents who attended and worked the race. In below zero temps and with endless timing difficulties, we still managed to somehow complete over 400 race runs in a bit over two and a half hours. Maybe closer to 600 race runs with all the re-runs. Congratulations to Andreas Drekonjas and Gabby Harritt for their victories. Andreas is the first skier to post a sub-17 time this season as far as I remember. And in team results, Washburn-SW-MAST went one-two-three in team scoring. Nicely done. Thank you to Sergei for once again calculating and formatting the race results that are attached. Our next race is Thursday at Welch Village. Thank you to all the parents who have signed up to work the race. We still need more volunteers. There is one error in the sign up form: the form indicates that the race is a Hyland race. Hopefully you already know that this is inaccurate. The race is at Welch Village and the race is slated to start between 4:50-5PM. If you signed up to work thinking the race was at Hyland and you cannot make it to Welch, please email or call me. We still need volunteers, especially gate judges. Here is a link to sign up: Feb 2 Race Volunteer Sign UP at Welch Any parents who plan to ride the lifts to work the race will need to sign the Welch Waiver. If you did not sign the waiver for yourself when you signed it for you athlete, you will need to do so. Here is a link: Welch Waiver Athletes: if you plan to bring and store your equipment to Washburn or SW before school, here are the instructions from the ADs. Washburn: "The Washburn skiers can store their ski equipment in the closet by the main gym. The door will be open at 7:00am and will close at 8:30am." I believe you can enter through Door 5 by the dumpsters in the parking lot off 49th street. Southwest: "They can store the gear in my outer office off the Commons or in the main office behind the desk in the hallway part (hockey puts some gear there). I will let Mark and Old School know to open my office door if I am not here." The coaches will be announcing the Section Teams for Washburn, SW and South/Roosevelt tomorrow. We have some very difficult decisions to make. See you tonight. Dress really warm!!! Mark
