I'm sure you've been anxiously awaiting an update on the end of our season. Let me start by telling you about our stop at the Dan Nagy Memorial in Lacrosse, Wisconsin the last weekend in February. Much of the St. Olaf skiing community was reunited for the weekend to celebrate and honor Dan Nagy, a former St. Olaf alpine skier.
The team used the race as a good warm-up for Nationals. Genette was working on recovering from pneumonia; it has gotten so bad she carried her inhaler down the course in her GS suit. I wouldn't be surprised if she stopped for a few puffs along the way. Kayla tore her meniscus and partially retore her ACL at practice a few days prior, and worked to regain her confidence for Sunday River...refusing to cut her senior season short.
Congratulations to Laurie Ann Taschler for finishing (and well I might add) two races on Damnation (the run we race down at Lacrosse) for the first time in her racing career. She's been racing since she was a J5, AND she's from Wisconsin. So she's done quite a few races at Lacrosse. Give Laurie a high five next time you see her!
Nick Stang took home the silver medal on Saturday. His performance in the mid-ams this season has won him a ticket to US Nationals. Congratulations to Nick!
