Good Evening MAST Athletes, Coaches, Parents and Friends: Some people go to Stonehenge to celebrate the Winter Solstice and prepare for the lengthening of days until summer. Not us. We go to the foot of Wild Mountain, essentially off the grid…with only a tent (the best one of all the teams, BTW), a generator to heat said tent, hot cocoa, snacks, breakfast, lunch, and the most comfortable of camping chairs. And we make this trek solely in the name of cheering our hearts out for our amazingly talented MAST racers. Speaking of racing - read on for the coach's corner and invitational recap, along with reminders for the coming week. Wild Invitational - Coach Recap & Results! We would first like to extend a big THANK YOU to all of our parents and coaches who not only supported our athletes, but helped with setup and takedown of the tent, supplied food and beverages, and kept the fire going! What a great day we had at Wild Mt! The snow hardened up and provided the racers with a terrific surface all the way through the 100+ racers who competed. We had very solid individual outcomes and excellent team outcomes as well. On the boys side, Sam Moore took home some hardware finishing in 7th place. And Hudson White put down two fast runs to finish in 12th place. These two solid finishes helped lead the Washburn boys to a 2nd place team finish edging out St. Thomas to grab the silver. On the girls side, we had three Southwest girls finish in the top 10! Very impressive. Grabbing 6th place was Eva Voyakin, in 4th Lia Rulf, and taking home the gold finishing in 1st place was Lucy Renz! Congratulations Lucy! These fantastic finishes led the Southwest girls to a dominating victory over the rest of the field. I was proud of the way you guys supported your teammates today, you cheered loud, you carried coats, and you celebrated each other's runs. If you didn’t perform as well as you wanted, do not get discouraged. You will have good days and bad days in ski racing. Just buckle up your boots, get back to work, and keep having fun! You all are improving at a very high rate! Full team and individual results are attached. Rest up and we will see you at practice bright and early tomorrow morning! - Coach Matthew REMINDER: MAST RACE ON DECEMBER 23rd CANCELED - PRACTICE WILL BE ON We have great lanes for training and will use timing and will also film.
