Stepin' It Up at States- Frisco

Wednesday afternoon members of the CRMS campus sent our Nordic and Alpine Teams on their way to Frisco where they'll spend Thursday and Friday racing against many of the top high school skiers in the state. Coaches Nick Brown and Max Stevens did a special report on the event for the local Post Independent, during which they expressed the great amount of pride and excitement that the whole school has for these skiers. The link can be found at:

The 2010 nordic state team consists of Gug, Sam, Maggie, Florentina, and Maria. While Gus, Sam and Maggie have skied past seasons, competing in States is quite an accomplishment for Maria and Florentina who both just started competitively sking this season.

The classic race was held at 2pm today which undoubtably made for an interesting adventure in ski waxing for our beloved coaches Nick and Elliot.

The Women's Team earned 7th place for the classic race with Jacqueline in 19th, Maria in 33 and Maggie in 41st.

The Men's Team earned 12th place partially as a result of having only two skiers to earn points. Gus had an excellent race, coming in 5th for classic, and Sam finished 37th.

Hoping to have some photos to upload soon and results for the skate race tomorrow afternoon!
